Getting Post's Tags on Wordpress Without Use Loop

Hello.

How i can get post's tags on Wordpress without use loop? I think i can get tags from through DB but i don't know how i can do this.

Thanks.

There's a (not well documented) function you can use to get the tags for a post by ID: wp_get_post_tags($id). This returns an array of tag objects. To get the ones you're probably looking for in text:

    $existing_tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

    $tags = array();
    if (count($existing_tags) > 0) {
        foreach ($existing_tags as $tag) {
            if ($tag->taxonomy == 'post_tag')
                $tags[] = $tag->name;
        }
    }
    //now use $tags array of tag names 

There are also functions for adding, updating, deleting tags on a post. You don't need to hit the database directly.
