   How do you get a corresponding image from a post???

   i am creating a custom template index which loops thru the posts and i like to show an image if a post has one and otherwise show a image_placeholder

   if($imgSRC != ''){
   here the first image of post??
   } else {
   $imgSRC = 'image_placeholder.gif';
   }

   there are some articles on the web on how to get images from posts that might give you some ideas:
   for instance:

   http://bavotasan.com/tutorials/retrieve-the-first-image-from-a-wordpress-post/

   http://rider.sofarider.com/blog/wordpress-tips/how-to-add-an-image-teaser-next-to-post-title/

   at least it might give you some keywords to expand the search.
