Get all values from user profile acf_form

Hi,

I’ve created a questionnaire using acf_form set on user profiles with radio buttons fields.
this way – the results are visible in the user profile page in the admin area.

but now – I want to send the questions and the answers to my email automatically, so I have a backup of the user answers.

This is my form (that works perfectly)

                            $options = array(
                                'post_id' => 'user_'.$current_user->ID,
                                'field_groups' => array(232),
                                'form' => true,
                                'return' => add_query_arg( 'as', 'f', get_permalink() ),
                                'html_before_fields' => '',
                                'html_after_fields' => '',
                                'submit_value' => esc_html__( 'Continue', 'testtheme' )
                            );
                            
                            acf_form( $options );

And this is my sending function:
(it’s the example from the documentation with small changes. It works great except for the form content)

add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_save_post');

function my_save_post( $post_id ) {

	// bail early if editing in admin
	if( is_admin() ) {
		return;
	}

	// vars
	$post = get_post( $post_id );

	$name = 'Test site sender';
	$email = '[email protected]';

	// email data
	$to = '[email protected]';
	$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n";
	$subject = 'test';//$post->post_title;
	$body = //HOW DO I GET THE FORM CONTENT HERE?;

	// send email
	wp_mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers );

}

Thanks ahead

Set the priority of your filter to 20 so that it runs after ACF has saved the values

add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_save_post', 20);

Then get the values and add them the same way you’d get them for a template

$body = '';
$body .= 'Field Label: '.get_field('field_name', $post_id)."\r\n";
$body .= 'field label 2:'.get_field('field_name_2, $post_id)."\r\n";

You could probably also use either get_fields() https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_fields/ or get_field_objects() https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field_objects/ and use a loop to add them to the body. The main difference between a template and what you’re doing is that you need to add the values to the string rather then display them.

almost! 🙂

I got all the objects and been able to send them through email,
the only problem left is I get the chosen radio button value, and I need the chosen radio button’s name.

This is my relevant code now:

	$body = '';

	$fields = get_field_objects($post_id);

	if( $fields )
	{
		foreach( $fields as $field_name => $field )
		{
			$body .= '<li>';
//the field label:
			$body .= '<h3>' . $field['label'] . '</h3>'; 
//the chosen radio button value:
			$body .= $field['value'];
			$body .= '</li>';
		}
	}

Try using

$field['choices'][[$field['value']]]
