Update empty Repeater Field

Hello,

I am trying to „update“ an empty repeater field on a programmatically created (custom) post. Unfortunately, if I want to watch the post afterwards, PHP it runs in a memory limit error. If don’t add any rows to the repeater while creating the post, add some rows from the backend GUI and change it programmatically afterwards: Everything works fine.

The Rows-Array I add is exactly as the Rows-Array I get, when I add it through the backend.

This is the code I use to add the rows:

// medien
                $files = get_field('medien', $post);
                $files = array();

                foreach($queryArray['files'] as $file) {
                    if(trim($file) != '') {
                        $files[] = array(
                            'medium'        => (int)$file,
                            'freigegeben'   => 0
                        );
                    }
                }

                if(count($files) > 0) {
                    update_field('medien', $files, $post);
                }

I tried both lines to get the “blank” array. The $queryArray[‘files’]-Array is List with File-IDs.

Thanks for your help! 🙂

Hi @cemderin,

Thanks for the post.

The issue might be with the count() function, with your logic, the update_field() function is set to run to infinity since count will implement continuously and you have not set a break point.
