In your case, the parent meta key would be "mp_biling_info" and the child meta key would be "phone". If you wanted to get another piece of user meta from the "mp_billing_info", you would just pass whatever child meta key you want to retrieve. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/please-help-me-unserialize-this#post-41244 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:36:25 +0000 andydarnell 41244@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm an idiot.

That's based on the PHP unserialize function.</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/maybe_unserialize" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/maybe_unserialize</a></p> <p>Sometimes the work has been done for you in WordPress though. Maybe there is another function to extract the information you need without operating on the data directly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/please-help-me-unserialize-this#post-41236 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:25:57 +0000 andydarnell 41236@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So I understand that this returns a value from the usermeta table:</p> <p>add_filter('gform_field_value_user_firstname', create_function("", '$value = populate_usermeta(\'first_name\'); return $value;' ));</p> <p>How do I do it if the field in the table is serialized?</p> <p>I want to prepopulate a gravityform field that I have given the parameter "phone" It is serialized in a field called mp_billing_info as 'phone'</p> <p>Here's the data that is in that field:<br /> a:9:{s:5:"email";s:0:"";s:4:"name";s:17:"Billing Full Name";s:8:"address1";s:11:"Billing One";s:8:"address2";s:12:"Billing Two ";s:4:"city";s:12:"Billing City";s:5:"state";s:2:"GA";s:3:"zip";s:5:"30360";s:7:"country";s:2:"US";s:5:"phone";s:10:"7705555555";}</p> <p>Help! </p>
