Apologies if I didn't quite word my title correctly. I am currently finishing up this Wordpress AJAX challenge in which we needed to display particular user-types to the screen depending on a plugin's selection. The function below is whats being called in my AJAX call. I currently am running multiple instances of this code below, one for each user-type:
$user_roles = get_option( 'show_users' );
$count = 0;
if($user_roles['administrator']) {
$users = get_users( array (
'role' => 'administrator'
));
foreach ($users as $user) {
$result[$count] = $user->display_name;
$count++;
}
}
However, I thought I might be able to create a function that can save me some code (and maybe even use a foreach later to save even more), but the code does not seem to work. Function I tried using (followed by calling the function) :
function save_time ($x) {
if ($user_roles[$x]) {
$users = get_users( array (
'role' => $x
));
foreach ($users as $user) {
$result[$count] = $user->display_name;
$count++;
}
}
}
save_time('administrator');
Is there something I can do make this work? Am I forgetting how functions work in general? Thank you!
You already have an array of roles so you could just use that.
foreach($user_roles as $role => $values) {
$users = get_users( array (
'role' => $role
));
foreach ($users as $user) {
$result[$count] = $user->display_name;
$count++;
}
}
Then you don't even have to define one for each type.
