How to fetch image url and description?

Hello,

I’m trying to work this into a template, and while the below does match, but I’m lost as to just what the object returned in $media_items is and how I access the image url and description:
```
$media_items = get_attachments_by_media_tags('media_tags=home-slider');
if ($media_items) {
        var_dump($media_items);
        }
}
```
The var dump is showing me that I apparently have a bunch of arrarys inside of arrays, and I’m assuming there’s a proper way to get at that.

I had a similar problem, inside the array are objects so you can access them like this:

$media_items[0]->guid

To loop through and extract the image urls and wrap them in image tage I used the following code:

<?php $media_items = get_attachments_by_media_tags('media_tags=categpry');

		$arrlength=count($media_items);
		for($x=0;$x<$arrlength;$x++)
		  {
		  echo	'<img src=',$media_items[$x]->guid,' />';
		  echo "<br>";
  }
  ?>

Im very new at this so there might well be a better way but it worked for me

I ended up doing something like this:

$media_items = get_attachments_by_media_tags('media_tags=home-slider');
if ($media_items) {
        foreach($media_items as $imgpost) { ?>
                <?php $hsimg = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $imgpost->ID, full); ?>
                <div class="home_slide">
                <div class="gif">
                        <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_animation" width="1020" height="630" alt="" src="<?php echo $hsimg[0]; ?>" />
                        </div>
                        <div class="newbig home_title">
                                <?php echo $imgpost->post_content; ?>
                        </div> <!-- end  home_title -->
                </div> <!-- end home_slide -->
<?php   }
}
