User meta multiple value/ array output

[MH Russel]

I’m using this code in author.php

<?php
$curauth = (isset($_GET[‘author_name’])) ? get_user_by(‘slug’, $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author));
?>

This code to get output
<p><?php echo $curauth->memb_sectors; ?></p>

But when using multiple select options then we are getting text “array” not a result. How to fix that. Could you help me?

Hello,

All the values of the multi-select field are stored in the array data type. That is why you are getting the “array” text. To get each data of a multi-select field you can use a simple loop like below:

foreach( $curauth->memb_sectors as $key=>$value ) {
    echo $value;
    echo '<br>';
}

Also, with print_r() or var_dump() instead of echo, you can display the array data in a readable format.

Thanks.

Thank you for your help, I’m not good in code. Could you help me to apply conditional logic?

Now showing array when 1 value.

We need to use a conditional statement. If more than a sector else value for a sector
I tried some code but not working

Also, I need to know is there a way to use fields like post Tags/ user tag. Please let me know the process if it’s possible.

foreach($curauth->memb_sectors as $key=>$value) {
static $i = 0;
if ($i >= 2) {
echo $value;
} else {
echo $curauth->memb_sectors;
}
$i++;
}
