I have an array containing the nid(node ID)... how to list the teasers of these items?

is there a function something like print_node_teaser($nid) which i can use to print the teasers??

I dont want to use views....

have a look on http://api.drupal.org/.
Maybe it is this one : http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/node_teaser

node_view(node_load($node->nid), $teaser, $page, $links); where $teaser (TRUE/FALSE) is whether you want a teaser view; $page (TRUE/FALSE) is whether you want to display it on a stand alone page; $links is whether or not to add links (such as "read more"). Only the node is required.

NOTE: There is a bug in the node module that you may need to fix. Check the issue status.

i couldn't understand the discussion fully....

but i was able to get a teaser view....
i just copied the contents of the function node_view() into a page and supplied the argument variables ($node,$teaser,$page,$links) .... i got a teaser view... but the problem with this is hook_nodeapi($op='view') wont be called.... (so wont be able to use this method... as i am using a module which hooks at $op=view)

if u can, can u please tell me how exactly to proceed to get the teaser view with hook_nodeapi() working?

hey nancy,
thank you for your help... it worked! :)
i did not use any patch... i create a new module and a menu there and used the code you gave 

node_view(node_load($node->nid), $teaser, $page, $links);

it worked!

It was not working when i tried last time was because i was using this code inside a page(content-type) with php filter... there i was getting a teaser view... but hooks from other modules were not implementing...

thanks a lot for the help...

Hook_nodeapi should have been triggered even with the code in a page - I've done this.

hey it worked. Reallised my mistake...
I was giving

$node = node_load(45);
$output = node_view($node, 1, 0, 1);
print $output;

instead of 

$node = node_load(45);
$output = node_view($node, 1, 0, 1);
return $output;

thanks for the help... really appreciate it :)
