Have a look at the following PHP.net information page - <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php" rel="nofollow">http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php</a> honeycombdesign on "User Meta info" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-meta-info#post-279221 Sun, 26 May 2013 23:17:28 +0000 honeycombdesign 279221@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I have a form where user can list their children and their age in a 2 column list. Name | Age I use the list un advance fields. Now once these are entered in to a User Meta Field called our_children. When I try to retrieve the data I see something like this: <code>a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:4:"Name";s:6:"Elisha";s:3:"Age";s:2:"13";}}</code> I call the field using: <code>$our_children = get_user_meta ($user_id,"our_children");</code> How can I display this value so that I can get the name and age of children again. I have tried: <pre><code>foreach ( $our_children as $children ) { echo '<tr><td>'. $our_children -> Name .'</td><td>'. $children -> Age .'</td></tr>'; }</code></pre> but it doesn't show anything. Thanks for your help.
