Get Custom Input Field’s value via PHP

Hello,

I want to get whatever the customer typed into a custom input field via PHP.

The meta key for the value is “_wcj_product_input_fields_local_1″, but I cant get it via WC_Order…

Kind of like this shortcode does https://booster.io/shortcodes/wcj_order_items_meta/
[wcj_order_items_meta meta_key=”_wcj_product_input_fields_global_1”]
but in PHP…

Does anyone know how to get it via PHP ?

Kind regards,
Robin

Hi @inibori,

You can try just using do_shortcode() function, e.g. for current order:
```
echo do_shortcode( '[wcj_order_items_meta meta_key="_wcj_product_input_fields_global_1"]' );
```
or by order ID:
```
echo do_shortcode( '[wcj_order_items_meta order_id="123" meta_key="_wcj_product_input_fields_global_1"]' );
```
For “pure” PHP, please try something like this:
```
$order = wc_get_order(); // or wc_get_order( $order_id );
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item_key => $item ) { 
    print_r( wc_get_order_item_meta( $item_key, '_wcj_product_input_fields_global_1' ) ); 
}
```
Hope that helps.

P.S. If you like the plugin, please consider leaving us a rating.

This is my code:
```
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'api_add_order');
    function api_add_order($order_id){
    
    	$order = new WC_Order($order_id);
    	
    	$order_username = do_shortcode( '[wcj_order_items_meta order_id="' . $order_id . '" meta_key="_wcj_product_input_fields_global_1"]' );
    	
        
        $fp = fopen('vardump.txt', 'w');
        fwrite($fp, serialize($order_username));
        fclose($fp);
        
        
    	$items = $order->get_items();
    
    	foreach ( $items as $item ) {	
    
    	$product_id = $item['product_id'];
            $product = new WC_Product($item['product_id']);
    
            if ( has_term( 'api', 'product_cat', $product_id ) ) {
    
                $sku        = explode("-", $product->get_sku());
    	       	$service	= $sku[0];
            	$username	= $order_username;
                $quantity	= $sku[1];

            }
        }
    }
```
I feel like I have tried everything but it always returns nothing, I can access everything else like the sku and first or last name… but i cant seem to get the order meta like the input fields input.

Is it possible that it gets added to the order meta after “woocommerce_payment_complete” ?

Hi @inibori,

Booster’s product input fields’ data is added to items meta on woocommerce_add_order_item_meta action if you have WooCommerce version below 3.0.0 and on woocommerce_new_order_item action in newer WooCommerce versions. Not really sure if woocommerce_payment_complete is fired before or after that…

Did you try my second suggestion:
```
$order = wc_get_order(); // or wc_get_order( $order_id );
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item_key => $item ) { 
    print_r( wc_get_order_item_meta( $item_key, '_wcj_product_input_fields_global_1' ) ); 
}
```
Also (not sure if it will help though), please try calling $order->save(); before trying to access items meta.

By the way – not sure if this is a typo – but product input fields’ data is stored as order items meta (i.e. not as order meta). And from your code, I can see that you are getting sku from the product itself (i.e. not from the order item).

Hope that helps.

Any solution for this, i have the same problem. The suggested solutions dont work for me. I need to print the item meta field but always get empty value.
