Display number of photos in a gallery field

Is there an easy way to echo out the number of images in a gallery?

For example, I’m showing the first image of each gallery on a page, with a title and under the title I’d like it to say something like “(23 photos)” .

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi @brianyerkes

Sure. So, the get_field function will return an array containing all the images right? Therefor, you can target the first image like so:

$images = $image[0];

As for the count? There is a PHP function called count which will do this for you:

echo count( $images );

Easy

Thanks

Perfect, thank you Elliot. (been using ACF for a while now, also repeater and gallery addons…and ACF (along with gravity forms) is easily one of the best coded plugin out there.

Hi @herrfischer

This kind of PHP question is best solved on google, not ACF

Thanks
