Geting event post data into an array

    Hi. I’m writing some PHP to get event post data and put it into an array, however my code is breaking when it encounters the EM_Event object as follows:

    $postType = get_post_type($postID); //returns event
    if($postType != EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT)
    return(array());
    $event = new EM_Event($postID, ‘post_id’); //code is crashing here
    $location = $event->get_location();
    $arrEvent = $event->to_array();
    $arrLocation = $location->to_array();

    In this case, my event has a post_id of 30. Do I have the syntax of the EM_Event object wrong?

    Any help is appreciated.

    hi,

    maybe you can try something like this $EM_Event = em_get_event($post->ID, 'post_id');

    Thanks Angelo for responding. I tried your suggestion as follows but still get the same result.

    $postType = get_post_type($postID); //returns event
    if($postType != EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT)
    return(array());
    //$event = new EM_Event($postID, ‘post_id’); //old code is crashing here
    $event = em_get_event($postID->ID, ‘post_id’); //new code is crashing here
    $location = $event->get_location();
    $arrEvent = $event->to_array();
    $arrLocation = $location->to_array();

    I think there is a difference in the code I shared vs your posted snippet?

    eg.

    my code $EM_Event = em_get_event($post->ID, 'post_id');

    you code is $event = em_get_event($postID->ID, 'post_id');

    OR your $post var is the variable $postID ? also, can I know if you are doing this in a wordpress template or separate custom php file

    Hi. Yes, I use $postID instead of $post. It’s value is passed to my function as follows. My code is in separate php files for a plugin I’m developing.

    public static function getEventPostData($postID){
    $postType = get_post_type($postID); //returns event
    if($postType != EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT)
    return(array());
    //$event = new EM_Event($postID, ‘post_id’); //old code is crashing here
    $event = em_get_event($postID->ID, ‘post_id’); //new code is crashing here
    $location = $event->get_location();
    $arrEvent = $event->to_array();
    $arrLocation = $location->to_array();

    Solved. I needed to declare the $event variable before calling EM_Event. I don’t remember having to to do this before. I guess my host must be using newer PHP.

    $event = null;
    $event = new EM_Event($postID, ‘post_id’);
