Get array of custom fields in post

    I have a lot of custom fields in my posts. Rather than using

    echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_custom_field', true);

    for each custom field is it possible to create an array of all my custom fields and retrieve the custom field name and value for each one?

    I came across the following code which is close to what I need but it retrieves the key and id..

    `$custom_field_keys = get_post_custom_keys();
    foreach ( $custom_field_keys as $key => $value ) {
    $valuet = trim($value);
    if ( ‘_’ == $valuet{0} )
    continue;
    echo $key . ” => ” . $value . “<br />”;
    }`

    You’re on the right track. That code gives you all the ‘my_custom_field’ values for each custom field, so if you combine the two, you’ll can list all the values of all the custom fields for a post:

    $custom_field_keys = get_post_custom_keys();
foreach ( $custom_field_keys as $key => $value ) {
	$valuet = trim($value);

	if ( '_' == $valuet{0} )
		continue;
		echo $value . ":<br />";
		echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $value, true) . "<br/><br/>";
}

    Thanks! It works. For the first $value would it be possible to get the field name instead of id?
