Add ACF field value to function

I am trying to add a ACF value to a function like:

function loginRedirect( $redirect_to, $request_redirect_to, $user ) {
		$internStart = 'thisworks';
	    if ( is_a( $user, 'WP_User' ) && $user->has_cap( 'edit_posts' ) === false ) {
	    	return home_url('/') . $internStart;
	    }
	    return $redirect_to;
	}
	add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'loginRedirect', 10, 3 );

So “thisworks” is added to the URL. But when I replace the variable with “get_field” (from an options field) it does not work:

function loginRedirect( $redirect_to, $request_redirect_to, $user ) {
		$internStart = get_field('link_intern_start', 'option');
	    if ( is_a( $user, 'WP_User' ) && $user->has_cap( 'edit_posts' ) === false ) {
	    	return home_url('/') . $internStart;
	    }
	    return $redirect_to;
	}
	add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'loginRedirect', 10, 3 );

What do I have to do to get the field?

What kind of field is link_intern_start? Looking at your code I can’t see any reason why it doesn’t work, unless it has something to do with what’s in the field.

Ummmmmm – just forgot it’s a post_object field 😉 – now it works, thank you john!
