 * I’m trying to get a mysql field value inside the post loop, however I can’t figure
   out how to do it as it gives me errors:
 * <?php
    $threadtitle = the_title(); $threadid = $wpdb->get_var(SELECT id wp_forum_threads
   WHERE subject = $threadtitle); echo ‘$threadid’; ?>
 * Basically what I am trying to do is get the ID value from wp_forum_threads where
   subject is equal to the blog entry title. However I can’t figure out why that
   query wouldn’t work.

 * I seem to have forgotten the FROM in my query, but it still doesn’t work when
   I add it.
 * <?php
    $threadtitle = the_title(); $threadid = $wpdb->get_var(SELECT id FROM 
   wp_forum_threads WHERE subject = $threadtitle); echo ‘$threadid’; ?>
