   I need to get an array of all author's of a blog.

   Here's the code I have in mind, unless there's some WP function I should know about.

   function op_all_authors() {
   
   	$all_authors = AN ARRAY OF AUTHORS
   
   	foreach($all_authors as $key => $value) {
   		$all_authors[$key] = $all_authors[$key];
   	}
   	return $all_authors;
   }

   Basically, I want to put these authors in a form select for an administrator to choose from. The author posts that's chosen will be displayed on a certain page.

   I just need to get an array of authors; I can do the rest from there.

   Nevermind, I think I got it. So, if anyone's interested, this should work:

   //Gets an array of the available authors
   function op_all_authors() {
   	global $wpdb;
   	$order = 'user_nicename';
   	$user_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY $order");
   
   	foreach($user_ids as $user_id) :
   		$user = get_userdata($user_id);
   		$all_authors[$user_id] = $user->display_name;
   	endforeach;
   	return $all_authors;
   }
