get_post_custom single array

1 Views

Is there a way to return single values only when I run 

get_post_custom($post_id);

it seems that I’m receiving double array, even when there only one value for this meta_key

  1. this is what I’ve done to achieve this, it will return single dimension array when single results are found, and bi-dimensional array when multiple results are found

    /*
 * Get post custom Single (in functions.php)
 */

function get_post_custom_single($post_id) {
  $metas = get_post_custom($post_id);

  foreach($metas as $key => $value) {
    if(sizeof($value) == 1) {
      $metas[$key] = $value[0];
    }
  }
  return $metas;
}

  2. // change the meta key and note the last true
get_post_meta($post_id, 'your_meta_key_goes_here', true);

    See Codex for get_post_meta

    If you look at get_post_custom in the Codex you will read:

    Returns a multidimensional array with all custom fields of a
    particular post or page
