Wordpress: get name by ID

[Sarah Atkinson]

I'm working on building a site using Wordpress as the CMS.
I have categories of 'complex' and 'units'
On the units single page I want to display the Complex that it goes to. I have the complex id defined in a custom field. But I don't know how to get the complex name by using that id.

Ok i figured it out. I used the function
$complex_array= get_post( $complex_id, 'ARRAY_A');

and then got it with
$complex_array[post_title];

I wish the ref for wordpress functions was better. it's search function and navigation sucks.

Glad you sorted it. I know what you mean.
