Function: getFields()
Gets the field names of a record.
Syntax
getFields(set)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| set | Recordset or Structured Data | The Recordset or Structured Data (see Understanding Data Types) to get the fields list from. |
The getFields function will return each field name defined for the data as an array, except for special internal field names (such as the stream_item_id).
Examples
The getFields function will return a list of field names. These can be extracted using normal array functions and assigned to a variable.
$fields = getFields(in) // ["foo", "bah", "field3"]$field = $fields[1] // $field = "foo"$value = in.$field // equivalent to in.foo
The dot notation supports dynamic access to fields when variables are used within the expression, in this case, $field = "foo" so in.foo will be assigned to $value.
