I have a $value of today’s date in PHP, which I’d like to check against a repeater field of dates.
If today’s date is not in any of the sub_fields called “custom_date”, it should display a certain code, if any of the “custom_date” subfields does contain today, it should display other subfields from that row.
I tried the following code, but this’ll always loop all rows, but I only need one set of data (either yes, one of the sub_fields contains $value, or no, none of them do).
<?php
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('dates') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('dates') ) : the_row(); ?>
<?php if('$value' == get_sub_field('custom_date')){ ?>
<?php echo 'true'; } else echo 'false';?>
<?php endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif;
?>
try something like this
<?php
$found = false;
if (have_rows('dates')) {
while(have_rows('dates')) {
the_row();
if ($value == get_sub_field('custom_date')) {
$found = true;
echo 'true';
}
} // end while have rows
} // end if have rows
if (!$found) {
echo 'false';
}
?>
That’s genius. Thanks so much!
I needed to do almost exactly the same thing as the original poster and luckily I found this thread.
+1 Thanks John!
Hey John, thank you for example!
