Field Type Select Echo Value & Label?

Hi guys,

First off. This plugin is awesome. Seriously powerful.

I’m using the select custom field to allow a user to pick a drop down option and for that to then be echo’d out in the theme. This works perfectly.

However Currently the options I have set are:
fabric : Fabric
ministry-of-sound : Ministry Of Sound
mahiki : Mahiki
moustache-bar : Moustache Bar

But I would like it to be:
fabric : Fabric
ministry-of-sound : Ministry Of Sound
mahiki : Mahiki
moustache-bar : Moustache Bar

This causes some issues and doesn’t echo the way I would hope as it seems to get trimmed.

I’m currently getting my code to echo out the Value of the Select Custom field with the following:

if ( is_single() ) {
	$cats = wp_get_post_categories($posts[0]->ID);
	$first_cat = '';
		if ($cats) {
		$first_cat = $cats[0];}
	
		if ($first_cat == 4 ) {
		echo 'This nightclub is CLOSED!';} 
		
		elseif ($first_cat == 29) {
		echo 'This is an Event!<br>';
		$eventstart = get_field('eventstart');
		$eventend = get_field('eventend');
		$ticketprice = get_field('ticketprice');
		$minage = get_field('minage');
		$neareststation = get_field('neareststation');
		$venue = get_field('venue');
		echo 'The Event Begins - ' . $eventstart;
		echo '<br>The Event Ends - ' . $eventend;
		echo '<br>Ticket Price - ' . $ticketprice;
		echo '<br>Minimum Age - ' . $minage;
		echo '<br>Nearest Station - ' . $neareststation;
		echo '<br>Venue - ' . $venue;
		}
		
		elseif ($first_cat == 3) {
		echo 'This nightclub is OPEN!';}
		
		elseif ($first_cat == 2) {
		echo 'This is a guide!';}
		
		elseif ($first_cat == 28) {
		echo 'Cheap As Chips!';}		
		
		elseif ($first_cat == 27) {
		echo 'Average Spend!';}	

		elseif ($first_cat == 26) {
		echo 'Big Spender!';}	
	}
}
?>

How do I also get it to echo the Label OR is there a workaround without php?

Many thanks in advance for your time,

Bowser

I dont really get what you’re after but to get both the value and the label of the field you can use http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/get_field_object/
