    I have a post that has a an image attachment.

    All I would like to do is get the image ID.

    I tried using get_children(), but I don’t understand the result at all.
    I have found multiple solutions to show me the image, but what I really want is the image ID, or the image URL, without it the image being shown.

    Is there a simple solution to this?

    Figured it out.

    The code below creates an array called $child_image which can be easily queried with $child_image[‘ID’] or $child_image[‘guid’]…

    $args = array(
	'numberposts' => 1,
	'order'=> 'ASC',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'post_parent' => $post->ID,
	'post_type' => 'attachment'
	);

$get_children_array = get_children($args,ARRAY_A);  //returns Array ( [$image_ID]...
$rekeyed_array = array_values($get_children_array);
$child_image = $rekeyed_array[0];
