Selector for nth child of page

[gebeer]

Hello all,

this is a real beginner's question, I guess.

Got stuck on how to select the nth child of a page.

Couldn't find the right selector at the API cheatsheet or am just to stupid to understand them right. Also searched the forum.

What I want to achieve is something like

$page->child(2nd);

I tried 

$page->child("start=2");

but the script then just stops there without throwing an error.

I'm sure that should be pretty simple but have no clue atm.

Thanks in advance

$c = $page->children->eq(1);

Greetings,

Gerhard: and now to blow your mind with potentials...

1. Open the cheatsheet (thanks, Soma): http://cheatsheet.processwire.com

2. Look under "$page"

3. Look under "PageArray/WireArray"

4. Consider that you can often chain 2->3 (replace $a variable with your choice in 2)

Use the flexibility wisely!

Thanks,

Matthew
