This is the function I currently have to get product quantity:
Note: I used a function I have in my class to turn the result from db query into string, but if you want to make use of the function below you can easily use a loop to do so.

@Kuroi: can you have a look and tell me if there is anything wrong?
I used the option text name and value instead of the ids because I want to make sure that we either the stock of the exact product and attributes or nothing.
PHP Code:
<?php
function retrieve_attribute_stock_from_order($attribute_array,$products_id){
    global 
$db;
    
    
// Lets assume that if table TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK is defined, then we are using the stock by attribute mod
    // we can also query database to check if we want to
    
if(defined('TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK')){
        
$sql_query 'SELECT products_attributes_id FROM '.TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES.' pa,'.TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES.' ov,'.TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS.' o
                WHERE '
;
        
$condition_array = array();
        if(
count($attribute_array) == 0) return;
        foreach(
$attribute_array as $attribute){
            
$condition_array[] = '(ov.products_options_values_name = \''.$attribute['value'].'\' AND o.products_options_name =\''.$attribute['option'].'\' AND pa.products_id = '.$products_id.' AND pa.options_id = o.products_options_id AND pa.options_values_id = ov.products_options_values_id)';
        }
        
$sql_query .= implode(' OR '$condition_array).' ORDER BY products_attributes_id';
    
        
$result $db->Execute($sql_query);
        
$yobj = new yclass();
        
$attribute_string $yobj->db_result_to_string(',',$result);
        
$get_quantity_query 'SELECT quantity FROM ' TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK ' where products_id="' $products_id '" and stock_attributes="' $attribute_string '" LIMIT 1';

        
$quantity $db->Execute($get_quantity_query);
        if(
$quantity->RecordCount() == 1)
            return 
$quantity->fields['quantity'];
    }
    
// get products_quantity directly from products table
    
$get_quantity_query 'SELECT products_quantity FROM ' TABLE_PRODUCTS ' where products_id="' $products_id '" LIMIT 1';    
    
$quantity $db->Execute($get_quantity_query);
    if(
$quantity->RecordCount() == 1)
        return 
$quantity->fields['products_quantity'];
    else
        return 
0;
