WordPress Custom Post Type Query

  • I have this query for custom filed values (array based values):

    <?php
    // args
    $args = array(
        'numberposts' => -1,
        'post_type' => 'villa',
        'meta_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
            array(
                    'key' => 'amenities',
                    'value' => 'Internet',
                    'compare' => 'LIKE'
                )
            )
        );
    // get results
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    // The Loop
?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
    <ul>
    <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
        <li>
            <?php echo the_title(); ?>
        </li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

    Now I want to generate bellow part dynamically:

    array(
            'key' => 'amenities',
            'value' => 'Internet',
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        )
    )

    Bellow is my implemented code but now working:

    $amenities_exp = explode(",", $villa_amenities);
    $aCount = 0;

    $args = 'array(
          \'numberposts\' => -1,
          \'post_type\' => \'villa\',
          \'meta_query\' => array(
          \'relation\' => \'OR\',';

    for($a=0; $a<count($amenities_exp); $a++){
        "array(
                'key' => 'amenities',
                'value' => '".$amenities_exp[$a]."',
                'compare' => 'LIKE'
            )";
        if($aCount != count($amenities_exp) - 1){
            echo ",";
        }else{
            echo "";
        }
        $aCount++;
    }

    "));";

    You’re trying to build a complex string that looks like an array definition, but you need an actual array, not a string that looks like one. You can build up a meta_query array in a loop, then pass the final result as part of the whole WP_Query arguments array. Something like this, with the specifics taken out to better demonstrate the concept:

    $meta_args = array('relation' => 'AND');
foreach $amenities_exp as $amenity {
   $meta_args[] = array( 'value' => $amenity,);
}
$args = array('meta_query' => $meta_args);

    Flesh out the array definitions of this structure and it should work for you.
