CyberShot Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I am working in wordpress and things are going good. I made a form, filled it with values and have been able to store those values in a database using a wordpress function. Now my issue is that I want learn how to write them into an array and store them that way. I have been looking at several different ways but can't figure out how to code it. This is my code now function add_slider_box(){ global $post; $imageurl = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imageurl', true ); $imagelink = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imagelink', true ); $imagecap = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imagecap', true ); ?> <div style="width: 50%" class="sliderbox"> <p><label for="imageurl">Image Url: <br /> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="imageurl" name="imageurl" value="<?php if( $imageurl ) { echo $imageurl; } ?>" /></label></p> <p><label for="imagelink">Image Link: <br /> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="imagelink" name="imagelink" value="<?php if($imagelink) { echo $imagelink; }?>" /></label></p> <p><label for="imagecap">Image Caption: <br /> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="imagecap" name="imagecap" value="<?php if( $imagecap ) { echo $imagecap; } ?>" /></label></p> <button class="remove_slide button-secondary">Remove This Slide</button> </div> <?php } function bigBusiness_save_slider_options($post_id){ global $post; if( $_POST ) { update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imageurl', $_POST['imageurl'] ); update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imagelink', $_POST['imagelink']); update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imagecap', $_POST['imagecap'] ); } } so the update_post_meta function is what is saving the information into the database. How do I put that into an array? I was thinking foreach($_POST as $slides) $slides[] = array( 'imageurl' => '$_POST['imageurl'], 'imagelink' => $_POST['imagelink'], 'imagecap' => $_POST['imagecap']; ); I have been able to use the data out of the database by creating a function function get_half_slider_slides() { global $post; $imageurl = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imageurl', true ); $imagelink = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imagelink', true ); $imagecap = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'imageurl', true ); return array( $imageurl, $imagelink, $imagecap ); } and then calling that function in my code like this $slide = get_half_slider_slides(); I thought since it returned an array that I would be able to do this $slides['imagelink'] $slides['imageurl'] but it doesn't work. What I am trying to do is populate the nivo-slider ( http://nivo.dev7studios.com ) with images from the database. I have been following a tutorial but since the license on the tutorial doesn't cover reusing the code, I am trying to rewrite it in a way that doesn't violate the license agreement. This code is so far is hacked together but completely different from the tut. Can you help? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
