Hi,

I am new to PHP and have limited experience as this is my first project. I am creating an audit using a custom post type and ACF.

within my post template which will be the front end “report” I need to show a % score for the audit. Each audit question is answered yes or no. Example field name is q1_answer

I have the following code which looks at field q1_answer and if it is a yes displays a 1, however, I need the 1 to be the value of the variable so I can use it in my overall score calculation.

<?php if (get_field('q1_answer') == 'Yes') {
          echo '1';
        } ?>

Hi @lee-harvey

I am not sure that I have fully understood the description, is this what you are after?

<?php if (get_field('q1_answer') == 'Yes') {
          $value = "1";
        } ?>
