How to pull tags from multiple post IDs outside the loop

    I’m having an issue getting tags to display in the following scenario. On my front page I have 4 posts displaying in boxed areas with an image. I’m using a heavily modified version of Arras wonderful theme with the following code in the library/filters.php file:

    function arras_newsheader($page_type) {
	global $post;
	$postheader = '';

        $postheader .= '<h3 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h3>';
        $postheader .= '<div class="entry-thumbnails"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><img src="' . arras_get_thumbnail($w,$h) . '" alt="' . get_the_title() . '" title="' . get_the_title()	. '" /></a>';
        $postheader .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><img class="entry-meta" src="" alt="links"></img></a>';
        $postheader .= '</div>';
        $postheader .= ***this is where I need the listed tags***

echo apply_filters('arras_newsheader', $postheader);

}

    I have tried quite a few different tricks, mostly copying and pasting code from the codex, and other areas of the template. I understand php, but cannot code it (a bit like understanding a foreign language but not being able to speak it). I have tried the following strings:

    wp_get_post_tags($thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID)

    get_the_tags('ID=1') ;

    wp_get_post_tags($wp_query->post->ID)

    and various combination’s of the above. I’ve scoured the codex and the forums, but can’t seem to find the right info, or even combination of info to solve my issue.

    Solved. I was looking at the wrong section. Should have been looking at the ‘newsfooter’:

    function arras_newsfooter($page_type) {
	global $post;

	$postfooter = '';
	$postfooter .= '<span class="tags"><strong>' . __('Perfect for:', 'arras') . '</strong>' . get_the_tag_list(' ', ', ', ' ') . '</span>';

	if ( arras_get_option($page_type . '_news_display') == 'quick' ) {
		$postfooter .= '<p class="quick-read-more"><strong><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __('Read More', 'arras') . '</a></strong></p>';

	}
	echo apply_filters('arras_newsfooter', $postfooter);
}
