    [Solved] Get all options from a drop down field, not just the selected one?
    • cornbreadcornbread
      I understand how to get the option that a user selects in a drop-down. Is it possible to get all the options from a drop down?
    • cornbreadcornbread
      Ok if anyone needs something like this, I did it this way:

      $results = get_pages(array(
      'numberposts' => -1,
      'post_type' => 'acf',
      'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
      'order' => 'ASC',
      ));

      //You'll need to find the corresponding key created by ACF and plug it into the first parameter. You should be able to find this with print_r($results);

      $field = $acf->get_acf_field("field_4ff72cd781b1d", $results[0]->ID);

      //get an array of all choices in a drop down.
      print_r($field['choices']);

      Hope this helps!

      CORRECTION:

      To find the key, use print_r($acf->get_field_groups());

      You saved my day! Big ups.

      added this to get only the value if someone not into php finds this.

      foreach ($field['choices'] as $i => $value) {
      echo $i;
      }

      For anyone stumbling upon this question you can use get_field_object() to find the options in a select menu.
      $field_obj = get_field_object( 'field_506d7b9428874', $post_id_where_field_is );


      If you take a look at the returned $field_obj array using var_dump( $field_obj ) you will find the select menu options under 'choices'.

      You should be able to access the options like this:
      foreach ( $field_obj['choices'] as option ){
          echo option // Prints out the option
      }
