Selector::field() method

Get the field(s) of this Selector

// usage with all arguments
$string = $selector->field($forceString = true);

  • false (bool): to return string if 1 field, or array of multiple fields (same behavior as field property).
  • 1 (int): to return only the first value (string).

“Indeed, if ProcessWire can be considered as a CMS in its own right, it also offers all the advantages of a CMF (Content Management Framework). Unlike other solutions, the programmer is not forced to follow the proposed model and can integrate his/her ways of doing things.” —Guy Verville, Spiria Digital Inc.
