 * I have written an XML addon which takes a single image from my feed using your
   documentation example and it works great!:
 * $my_addon->add_field( ‘property_featured_img’, ‘Property Featured Image’, ‘image’);
 * I can extract the attachment_id for my plugin perfectly using this:
 * $attachment_id = $data[‘property_featured_img’][‘attachment_id’];
 * I would now like to import multiple images, but am not clear how to extract the
   attachment_id number from each one using the example you give below.
 * $my_addon->import_images( ‘property_images’, ‘Property Images’ );
 * Ideally, I would like an array of attachment_id values of the images.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi [@logicred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logicred/)
 * The “property_images” function in your example will receive three parameters:
   $post_id, $attachment_id, $filepath. Here’s an example of how you could add an
   array of the attachment IDs inside the “_my_custom_images” custom field:
 *     ```
       $my_addon->import_images( 'property_images', 'Property Images' );
   
       function property_images( $post_id, $attachment_id, $filepath ) {
           global $my_addon;
           $key = '_my_custom_images';
           $current_images = get_post_meta( $post_id, $key, true );
           if ( ! empty( $current_images ) ) {
               $current_images = maybe_unserialize( $current_images );
           } else {
               $current_images = array();
           }
   
           if ( ! in_array( $attachment_id, $current_images ) ) {
               $current_images[] = $attachment_id;
               update_post_meta( $post_id, $key, $current_images );
           }
       }
       ```
