Help Needed for latest post from a selected category

[Tareq Hasan]

Hi,
is there any way to get the post title and content and other field like
time, tag and others as a variable in loop?
That means, i want the_content(), the_permalink() or whatever in the loop as
a variable and want to show them by echo. is there any method? I didn't
found :(
Help me please.

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
           <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title()?></a>
           <p><?php the_content()?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>

I've found most of the methods have corresponding get_* methods that allow you to parse accordingly...
$content = get_the_content();
$title = get_the_title();
$plink = get_the_permalink();

Thanks for the very fast reply. Your tips was great.

But i am sorry for not mentioning one thing. I am using this code in my
plugin under a function. That doesn't work there.

BTW, is there any easy way to get latest 5 post from 3 category like below?

LATEST 5 POST FROM ===> UNCATAGORIES CATEGORY
LATEST 5 POST FROM ===> TWITTER CATEGORY
LATEST 5 POST FROM ===> WORDPRESS CATEGORY

This is just an example. Thats what i want to do: listing posts from some
categories with their title and trimmed content .

It's actually get_permalink(). Some methods alternatively have an argument
to prevent echoing, such as the_title_attribute('echo=0').

You also need to keep in mind filters and such. See also the note in the
codex for the_content:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content#Alternative_Usage.
Object buffering can always be used as well.

Maybe you already got your stuff figured out but it sounds like you
might not have a good grasp on the 'wordpress loop', a special while()
structure you have to use on queries to have access to functions like
the_permalink().

http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

That article explains the loop and gives examples of multiple loops
(including getting specific categories).
