    Howdy, I’m working on this little bit of code that finds all of the images associated with a post and then displays them in the way I want them. I’m looking for a way to grab the caption (or title) to an image. Any help is appreciated!

    <?php
$default_size = 'medium';
$files = get_children("post_parent=$id&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&order=ASC&orderby=menu_order ID");
	if($files){
	$keys = array_keys($files);
		foreach ($keys as $value) {
		$thumb=wp_get_attachment_image_src($value,$default_size);
		$caption=?????????
        print "{url: '$thumb[0]', title: '$caption'},";
		}
	}
?>

    I’m looking for what code I could replace my ?????? above with to grab the caption for the image?

    It may not be the cleanest way, but here’s how I did it:

    <?php /* get caption of the image */
ob_start();
the_content('', '');
if(preg_match('/class="wp-caption-text">(.*)</',ob_get_contents(),$postCaptionArr)){
  ob_end_clean(); ?>
  $caption = $postCaptionArr[1];
}else{ ob_end_clean(); } ?>

    hello,

    just replace the “????????” with this : $value->post_title;
    it should return you the post caption, that’s all.

    the additional text added to the attachment in the media browser could also be retrieve with this : $value->post_excerpt;
