Getting Posts from a specific thread

[alexgeek]

If I were to have a custom page how would I loop through all the posts in a specific thread (the thread is predefined) and then manipulate the data.
Like:

PHP Code:

while(loop_through_thread(234)) {
echo "<div>".$post['username'].'<br>'.$post['text'].'</div>';
} 


So that it would loop through all the posts and put them into a <div>s on a page.
Is there an easy way to do this or will I have to use a query?
