Calling 5 custom field values at once???

hi dean_l

You can use this
<?php get_post_custom($post_id); ?>

or make an array of your metakeys and thne start loop and in that loop write your code mean

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, “imag1”, true); ?>

This may work not tested

<php?
$post_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID);
foreach ($post_meta as $output) :
	$pos = strpos($output, 'imag');
	// Note our use of ===, because == would not work as expected
	// the position of 'imag' is the 0th (first) character.
	if ($pos === true) {
		echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $output, true);
		return;
	}
endforeach;
?>

Thanks keesiemeijer,

I think the second argument ($key) is required:

Quite correct, however I had to investigate, this code works and I have tested it, where it selected the correct value (5) from these custom fields.

Array(
[0] => _thumbnail_id ($pos = null)
[1] => _edit_lock ($pos = null)
[2] => _edit_last ($pos = null)
[3] => thumbnail_image ($pos = 10)
[4] => the_image ($pos = 4)
[5] => image_1 ($pos = 0)
[6] => iimage_1 ($pos = 1)
)

Returns image_1 value “Image number 1”

<?php $post_meta = get_post_custom();
	$keys = array_keys($post_meta);
	foreach ($keys as $output) :
		$pos = strpos($output, 'imag');
		// Note our use of === 0, because == would not work as expected returns null or false
		// the position of 'imag' is the 0th (first) character.
		if ( $pos === 0 ) {
			echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $output, true);
			return;
		}
	endforeach;
?>

Interesting that the ‘_thumbnail_id’ is stored in the post meta!
[_thumbnail_id] => Array( [0] => 227 )
