Getting template variable option values

I have a tv that is a drop-down list menu. I also have it set with five different option values. I want to find a way to output these values either as an array or in a way that I can load the values into an array in a snippet that I’m working on. I want to do this dynamically because other people may add values to this tv in the future and I don’t want them to have to dig in this snippet code to make the updates work. Is there an API function that does this?

Thanks!

Ok. I’m not sure if this is the most elegant solution for this problem but I found this works:

$result = $modx->db->select("elements", "modx_site_tmplvars", "id = 28");
while($row = $modx->db->getRow($result)) {
    $value_string = $row['elements']; 
}

$value = explode('||',$value_string);
print_r($value);

If someone knows a better solution please let me know.

Thanks!
