How do I get the URL of only the first picture in a Wordpress post? I don't want the URL of the thumbnail, but the first picture in the post loop. I only need the URL for linking purposes.

Thanks for your help everyone!

The answer is in Codex.

Note that wp_get_attachment_image_src returns the URL of an image's full version if you want.

Thanks Raphael. But if I were to use the function within the loop, how do I make it takes only the first image in a post on a post page? Would the $attachment_id be 1 or 0? – Karl Feb 8 '12 at 4:18
Nvm! I used get_post_thumbnail_id() to use as the $attachment_id in the function. Worked great! Thanks Raphael. – Karl Feb 8 '12 at 5:19
