This may be really simple, but I’m new to PHP. I need to grab a sub field within a repeater field and format it. It’s a date picker sub field so I think it’s just a matter of creating a variable that is the sub field and then echo’ing a certain format. Can’t figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi @jeffhogg11

No worries. You can use a function called get_sub_field to return a value and store it in a variable like so:

$date = get_sub_field('field_name');

Please note that the get_sub_field must be used WITHIN a has_sub_field or have_rows loop.

Please check out the docs for loop examples, and also the date picker field to see how you can format the string

Thanks
