Get a property or attribute from the Inputfield
This can also be accessed directly, i.e.
$value = $inputfield->property;.For getting attribute values, this will work, but it is preferable to use the
Inputfield::attr()method.For getting non-attribute values that have potential name conflicts with attributes (or just as a reliable alternative), use the
Inputfieldmethod instead, which excludes the possibility of overlap with attributes.::getSetting()
Example
// Retrieve the value of a property
$value = $item->get("some_property");
// Retrieve the value of the first non-empty property:
$value = $item->get("property1|property2|property2");
// Retrieve a value using array access
$value = $item["some_property"];Usage
$mixed = $inputfield->get(string $key);Arguments
| Name | Type(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|
key | string | Name of property or attribute to retrieve. |
Return value
mixed nullValue of property or attribute, or NULL if not found.
