I've run a get_posts query in WordPress and need to pull a pair of custom fields and get all of them into one array. The get_posts query provides an array of posts, but when I use foreach to access the custom fields, I end up with separate arrays for each result.
The Query
$c_query = get_posts(
array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'meta_key' => 'concert_date',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_wp_page_template',
'value' => array('rock.php', 'pop.php', 'jazz.php'),
'compare' => 'IN'
)
array(
'key' => 'concert_date'
'value' => date('m/d/Y')
)
)
)
);
Foreach
To access the concert date, I used foreach:
foreach($c_query as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
$c_query['concert_date'] = $concert_date = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),
'concert_date', true);
$c_query['concert_city'] = $concert_date = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),
'concert_city', true);
endforeach;
and the result pulls the correct data, but I get separate arrays for each concert date and city pair (because of foreach):
Resulting Arrays
Array ( [0] => 01-11-2012 [1] => New York)
Array ( [0] => 03-23-2013 [1] => Boston)
Array ( [0] => 06-09-2014 [1] => London)
What can I do to get these result arrays into one big array? Trying to get an array of the concert date and city pairs.
