Like find() except returns array of IDs rather than Page objects
- This is a faster method to use when you only need to know the matching page IDs.
- The default behavior is to simply return a regular PHP array of matching page IDs in order.
- The alternate behavior (verbose) returns more information for each match, as outlined below.
Verbose option:
When specifying boolean true for the $options argument (or using the verbose option), the return value is an array of associative arrays, with each of those associative arrays
containing id, parent_id and templates_id keys for each page.
Available since version 3.0.46.
Example
// returns array of page IDs (integers) like [ 1234, 1235, 1236 ]
$a = $pages->findIDs("foo=bar");
// verbose option: returns array of associative arrays, each with id, parent_id and templates_id
$a = $pages->findIDs("foo=bar", true);Usage
// basic usage
$array = $pages->findIDs($selector);
// usage with all arguments
$array = $pages->findIDs($selector, $options = []);Arguments
