Getting an ARRAY of user Meta info and iphorm_element_value_?

[Joe Dostie]

Hello Support,

I have a two part question, I was hoping to get a hand with a function I am trying to build.

My goal is as follows:

I am using Quform to collect form info and put that info into the wp_usermeta table.
I have all the data flowing in with no problem and populating properly.

My goal is to retrieve the data and set default values for the Quform when a registered user is logged in (I will prepopulate the form with some values pulled from the meta table).

So far I have most of the data populating and I am able to grab all the info but not exactly like I need to.

This is the code that is running and almost working


function get_meta()
global $array_of_data;

$array_of_fields = array //Set the fields to retreive
(
'addr2',
'city',
'thestate'
);

if (is_user_logged_in()) //See if user is logged in
{
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_id = $current_user->ID; //Get the user ID
}

{
$array_of_data = array();
foreach ( $array_of_fields as $each_field ) //set each field to parse through

{
$array_of_data[ $field ] = get_user_meta( $user_id, $each_field, true ); //parse each field above for user
foreach ( $array_of_data as $each_field => $val ) //get each field above for user

echo 'Each Field = ' . $each_field. ' and Each Value = '.$val.'<br />'; // <- This is the problem area
}

}
add_filter('iphorm_element_value_'.$each_field'.', 'get_meta');


The $val (meta information) shows up with no problem, but I can not seem to associate each field (meta_key) I want with its value

The reason I am do it this way (and here is the second part of the question) is because I want use the hook
iphorm_element_value_$each_field. The second question is can you use the hook like that?

I will continue to work on this but if you have any insight to either question I would be grateful.

The reason behind this code is related to https://support.themecatcher.net/forums/topic/adding-wp-user-name-and-user-last-name-to-the-database#post-3903

What I am trying to NOT do is write a function for each element on the form (I have 75).

Kind Regards,
Joe

I cant thank you enough again Ally!

Your support and code are simply outstanding.

For some reason I am having the toughest time getting my head around these arrays but your code is definitely helping to clarify!

Thanks!
