Hello

I have following example of nested arrays (visulasation with my fields):

$tables = array(
		'field_text_field_value1'=> array(
		   'sub_number_field_value_1'	=> array(
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v1,
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v2
			),
                   'sub_number_field_value2'	=> array(
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v1,
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v2
			),
                    'sub_number_field_value3'	=> array(
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v1,
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v2
			),
		),
                'field_text_field_value2'=> array(
		   'sub_number_field_value_1'	=> array(
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v1,
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v2
			),
                   'sub_number_field_value2'	=> array(
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v1,
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v2
			),
                    'sub_number_field_value3'	=> array(
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v1,
				'i++'	=> sub_sub_number_field_v2
			),
		),
	);

	return $tables;

I’d like to output my repeater loop as array above
Repeater loop:

 if (have_rows('repeater_field', 'option')):

        // loop through the rows of data
        while (have_rows('repeater_field', 'option')): the_row();

    // display a sub field value
        the_sub_field('field_text_field');
        

        if (have_rows('nested_repeater')):

            while (have_rows('nested_repeater')): the_row();

            the_sub_field('sub_number_field');

            if (have_rows('nested_nested_repeater')):
                $i = 3;
                
                while (have_rows('nested_nested_repeater')): the_row();
                
                $i++;

                the_sub_field('sub_sub_number_field');

                endwhile;

                endif;

            endwhile;

        endif;

        endwhile;

    else :

        // no rows found

    endif;
};

Is it possible? Any tips where I could start? I would be very glad if someone could help me or point to some resolution.

Thank you

have you tried

$repeater = get_field('repeater_field', 'option');
echo '<pre>'; print_r($repeater); echo '</pre>';
