simple query, I thought… get users from wp_usermeta

  • trying to solve a simple problem, I think.

    in table wp_ / wp_usermeta

    I have the following fields and info.

    Assume I am on a page, user is logged in, I wish to show this user who else has marked a post for “watching”. I use wp-favourites plugin to allow user to watch a post (or item, in my case).

    info:

    umeta_id 27711
    user_id 2
    meta_key wpfp_favorites
    meta_value a:3:{i:0;s:6:”342081″;i:1;s:6:”342073″;i:2;s:6:”342067″;}
    the number ‘342073’ is a $post_ID, for example.

    how do I get get every user_id where meta_value contains $post_ID as array.
    then resolve array into user_ID as nice name,

    wish to return list of users as comma seperated text.
    such as “jeff, john, and Bill” are watching this post.

    got it. this seems to work. 

    Echo "Current MEMBERS watching items  <p> " ;
global $wpdb ;
$querystr = "
    SELECT user_id
FROM <code>wp_usermeta</code>
WHERE <code>meta_key</code> LIKE '%wpfp%'
LIMIT 0 , 30
 " ;

$x = $wpdb->get_results($querystr , OBJECT)   ;
 foreach ($x as  $r) {
$user_info = get_userdata($r->user_id);
      echo '<strong>' . $user_info->user_login . '</strong> User ID: ' . $user_info->ID . "\n";
  }
