Change Log:
  • 3.0.0

Retrieve a page given its title.

If more than one post uses the same title, the post with the smallest ID will be returned. Be careful: in case of more than one post having the same title, it will check the oldest publication date, not the smallest ID.

Because this function uses the MySQL '=' comparison, $page_title will usually be matched as case-insensitive with default collation.
