You can get the value of the repeater field as an array by doing the following:
$gig_dates = get_field('gig_dates_repeater');
At this point $gig_dates
is an array of arrays with each sub array representing a single row in the repeater, so to get the first one simply do $gig_dates[0]
. This will return another array containing the sub fields of the corresponding row, for example:
array(
'gig_date' => 'Feb 5th',
'gig_title' => 'Gig title'
);
I hope this helped.
