Node ID is just a number. I'm not sure what there is to extract in a number.
Do you mean, "How do I load a node from the DB, based on its node ID?"
If so, the general answer is
$node = node_load(1234);(replace '1234' with the node ID). Then, for example, you can access the various field of this node with $node->title, $node->body, $node->created, etc. You can get a rendering of this node withnode_view($node);.See http://api.drupal.org/ and the hanbooks here.
Well, what I'm doing is
Well, what I'm doing is inserting a new node into the db via drupal_excute, and I need to know what the nid of that new node is.
Looking for the same info
Was looking for this info as well. I think you can get the nid from the URL when editing the node (of course if you have path-module switched of it becomes even easier. But I wonder why it's not listed in a more obvious place for content admins.
Does anyone know another way?
Thanks
