i am trying to get the WPForm shortcode (text format) from ACF text field. i use the get_field() function. i know it get the correct field, but the problem is when try to echo the value, it display the forms it self while i need the shortcode in textformat value. the objective is for me to be able to take WPForm ID from that shortcode. below is my code:

$formID = get_field( ‘form_box’, get_the_ID());
$flag = 0;
$i = 1;
$groupTitle = “”;
foreach($groupingCountry as $groupID => $groupObj){
foreach($groupObj[‘group_list’] as $key => $value){
if($countryID == $value){
$flag = 1;
$groupTitle = $groupObj[‘group_title’];
//echo “groupID =”.$groupID.” | group_title =”.$groupObj[‘group_title’].” | group_list =”.$value.” | countrycode =”.$countryID ;
echo $formID;
$folder = array(
‘post_id’ => get_the_ID(),
‘post_title’ => get_the_title(),
‘post_url’ => get_the_permalink(),
‘post_country’ => $countryID,
‘post_folder_group’ => $i,
‘post_folder_group_title’ => $groupTitle
);
$folders[] = $folder;
break 2;
}
}
