#1 Basic Example

Let's get the data of bookmark 13 and display its URL:

<?php
$link = get_bookmark( 13, ARRAY_N );

echo $link->link_url;
?>

In this example, the $link variable will contain the following object:

stdClass Object

	[link_id] => 13
	[link_url] => http://www.gogetlinks.net/?inv=n98gxr
	[link_name] => gogetlinks.net
	[link_image] => http://wp-kama.com/wp-includes/images/crystal/archive.png
	[link_target] =>
	[link_description] => Buy/sell quality links, forever
	[link_visible] => Y
	[link_owner] => 1
	[link_rating] => 0
	[link_updated] => 0000-00-00 00:00:00

	[link_category] => Array()
)
