get_term_by() WP 1.0

Get all Term data from database by Term field and data.

Warning: $value is not escaped for 'name' $field. You must do it yourself, if required.

The default $field is 'id', therefore it is possible to also use null for field, but not recommended that you do so.

If $value does not exist, the return value will be false. If $taxonomy exists and $field and $value combinations exist, the Term will be returned.

This function will always return the first term that matches the $field- $value-$taxonomy combination specified in the parameters. If your query is likely to match more than one term (as is likely to be the case when $field is 'name', for example), consider using get_terms() instead; that way, you will get all matching terms, and can provide your own logic for deciding which one was intended.
