Preprend / Append Text Around Variable, Out of Order

Hi,

When I try and format some text as so…

INFRONT TEXT + VARIABLE + BEHIND TEXT

It outputs as follows…

VARIABLEINFRONTBEHIND

When using the following code…

$client_list = get_field('client');

            if( $client_list ){
              foreach( $client_list as $client_list_item ){
                echo 'INFRONT TEXT'.the_field('name', $client_list_item).' BEHIND TEXT';
              }
            }

Do you have any pointers as to this behaviour?

Thanks,
Andy.

OK, I found out what I was doing wrong. I was using the_field, when I should have been using ‘get_field’. Thanks.

Glad you got it worked out
