Load A Specific Page's Content (Using Slug or ID)

I'm trying to create an editable image header/banner area for a client. Basically, it will use a jQuery script to transition & scroll between any images that are in a specific div.

I'm sure this can be done by creating a new page, and using the WP media upload function to load in any/all banner images. Then I can call this page into my template and essentially just load it's content.

I don't know exactly how to achieve this. I think I should probably have a separate loop which calls this specific page using it's ID or slug.

Can someone help with an example of code to achieve this?

There is a WP function called get_post that might work for you... you can get the post by post ID.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post
```
<?php

$id = 7;

$post = get_post($id);

<h2>$post->post_title;</h2>

$post->content;

?>
```

Loading any specific post/page is very easy. get_post() function returns an object containing almost everything about a post/page.

$post = get_post($post_id); //$post_id should contain the ID of any post/page

echo '<pre>';
print_r($post);
echo '</pre>';

Now you will see the information it returns.

showing title:
```
echo $post->post_title;
```
showing body:
```
echo $post->post_content; 
```
In Lew's example, the key is wrong.

showing post date:
```
echo $post->post_date;
```
you will get details in the link given by Lew.

By default, get_post() returns an object. If you want to play with associative arrays, you may call the function this way:
```
$post = get_post($post_id,ARRAY_A);
```
then you can get values like this way:
```
echo $post['post_title'];

echo $post['post_content'];
```
Thanks
