   I need to find a way to pass the results for two different post parents. The current code I have is:

   $attachments = get_children("post_parent=281&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image");

   I need $attachments to equal the query above but also a similar query with a post_parent of 190. I've found that I can't put more than one post_parent into the get_children function and so far, I've been unable to figure out how to combine the results of two get_children calls into one.

   I'm far from a php expert so any help would be soooo appreciated!

   Something like this should work (not tested):

   function my_get_children($children_ids, $ptype = 'attachment', $pmime = 'image/%') {
     global $wpdb;
     $ids = join('|', (array) $children_ids);
     $q = "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_type = '{$ptype}' AND post_mime_type LIKE '{$pmime}' AND post_parent REGEXP '^({$ids})$'";
     return $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare($q));
   }

   Hi caugb, thanks so much for your help!

   How do I then implement this function in the context of the equation I need:
   $attachments = my_get_children(...
   when I need the attachments from post_parents 281 and 190?

   Thanks

   $attachments = my_get_children(array(281, 190));

   Thanks again, caugb, for the help!
   Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I'm not getting any results from the query.
