In the database for WordPress in one of the plugins the values where entered as array into the fields from the admin. Now I want to get the values from that array and display in the page.
I created a function, This works fine.
// Pull district from database
function get_district(){
global $wpdb;
$current_demand = get_metadata('post', 205, 'field_52a7cb0d1edb0');
return $current_demand;
}
On the page where I want to use the array values I did the var_dump to check for the results. This also works great
var_dump(get_district());
The values returns from the results where in this format. From what I can say is that its a array.
array(1) {
[0]=> array(12) {
["key"]=> string(19) "field_52a7cb0d1edb0"
["label"]=> string(8) "District"
["name"]=> string(8) "district"
["type"]=> string(6) "select"
["instructions"]=> string(0) ""
["required"]=> string(1) "0"
["choices"]=> array(10) {
["suva"]=> string(4) "Suva"
["nausori"]=> string(7) "Nausori"
["nadi"]=> string(4) "Nadi"
["lautoka"]=> string(7) "Lautoka"
["ba"]=> string(2) "Ba"
["tavua"]=> string(5) "Tavua"
["rakiraki"]=> string(8) "RakiRaki"
["tailevu"]=> string(7) "Tailevu"
["navua"]=> string(5) "Navua"
["labasa"]=> string(6) "Labasa"
}
["default_value"]=> string(0) ""
["allow_null"]=> string(1) "0"
["multiple"]=> string(1) "0"
["conditional_logic"]=> array(3) {
["status"]=> string(1) "0"
["rules"]=> array(1) {
[0]=> array(2) {
["field"]=> string(4) "null"
["operator"]=> string(2) "=="
}
}
["allorany"]=> string(3) "all"
}
["order_no"]=> int(1)
}
}
So What I did next was to break it down and look for the specific values from the array. Now I’ am running this code on the function
foreach(get_district() as $district => $key){
$test = $key["choices"];
var_dump($test);
}
The results returned from above code was
array(10) {
["suva"]=> string(4) "Suva"
["nausori"]=> string(7) "Nausori"
["nadi"]=> string(4) "Nadi"
["lautoka"]=> string(7) "Lautoka"
["ba"]=> string(2) "Ba"
["tavua"]=> string(5) "Tavua"
["rakiraki"]=> string(8) "RakiRaki"
["tailevu"]=> string(7) "Tailevu"
["navua"]=> string(5) "Navua"
["labasa"]=> string(6) "Labasa"
}
Here’s my question, How can I now get the values from here to a select list. This are correct values that I want to use inside the select list. This is the first time am seeing something like this.
Try this one
In html
A foreach loop is your best bet.
