The Wordpress get_pages function works similar to the get_posts function which fetches posts from the database by criteria. The get_pages function takes different arguments and allows you to take control of parent and child pages as you execute the function.
Usage :
<?php $pages = get_pages($arguments); ?>
Example :
<?php
$arguments = array(
‘child_of’ => 0,
’sort_order’ => "DESC",
’sort_column’ => "post_title",
‘exclude’ => "3,7,8",
);
$pages = get_pages($arguments);
?>
Parameters :
- $child_of
The ID of the parent page. Allows you to fetch child pages of a specific parent page. Use 0 or null or false in order to fetch all parent and child pages. - $sort_order
The direction in which the results should be sorted. This can be either ASC or DESC. Works in conjunction with the $sort_column parameter explained below. - $sort_column
The database column to order by. Makes use of the $sort_order parameter explained above. - $exclude
Comma delimited list of page IDs to exclude from the results - $include
Comma delimited list of page IDs to include into the results - $authors
Comma delimited list of the authors to which the pages belong. Only pages created by these authors will be included into the results - $meta_key

If set to 1, pages will be fetched in a hierarchical manner
