Works well for extracting img meta data to store it in custom meta fields.

I would use rgexplode as shown there, with the 3rd parameter, but otherwise I don't see any other native functions to handle this. dashaluna on "Save image metadata (id, url ..) in a custom meta data field after post creation" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-image-metadata-id-url-in-a-custom-meta-data-field-after-post-creation#post-172522 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:46:16 +0000 dashaluna 172522@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hello, I'd like to save image metadata (id, url, title, description) into a custom metadata fields after a form has been submitted and a post has been created. I figured out that I have to use <code>gform_after_submission</code> hook, so I can see the value per image with all the required data that looks like <code><a href="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/2-f3d72372c784de1b17f8507432c30d29/2013/03/image_file.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/2-f3d72372c784de1b17f8507432c30d29/2013/03/image_file.jpg</a>|:|FF S4 Image 1|:||:|FF S4 Image 1 Descr|:|117</code> Is there a GF function I should use to extract that data (in case there is one, so it will be compatible with any future changes). OR do I have to do it myself something like: <code>list($url, $title, $caption, $description) = explode("|:|", $value);</code> Just wanted to make sure to use native way, to make sure it's more robust for future changes if any. Many thanks, Dasha
