MEOW_Field :: val( $value = null )

Returns:

  • Mixed The value of the field - this type of this value depends on the type of this field, it will most commonly be a string or an array.

A shorthand synonym for the MEOW_Field::value method, to retrieve the value of the field. If a value argument is supplied, this method will SET the field value instead.

Important: the _toString PHP magic method handles direct echoing of field values out to your templates by simply echoing the a MEOW_Field object directly, but this automatic conversion to a string does NOT happen when using the value of a field as a variable in an expression. This is where the MEOW_Field::val or MEOW_Field::value methods must be used. See the example for the correct and incorrect way to use values in variables.

Example:

Parameters:

  • $value = null

    Optional – if this argument is supplied, the value of the field will be SET.

MasterPress 1.4.1 is now available

27th May 2024

This update addresses backwards compatibility issues that were introduced in the previous update. There were some edge cases where PHP 7 had issues and it didn’t work at all on PHP 5.6. We have now changed it so that the PHP 8 compatibility changes will now only affect PHP 8 and will be more thorough… 

Plugin Requirements

MasterPress requires a minimum of WordPress version 4.9, MySQL 5.6, and PHP version 5.6.20.

We also recommend that PHP is configured to use a memory limit of 64MB per request (128MB may be required for sites with higher complexity).

This plug-in is not compatible with the WordPress.com hosted service.
