help: extracting data from calendar custom fields

[squeezerbabe]

Hi

Total PHP newbie here so really stuck and would appreciate any help!!

I have created some custom fields to my calendar - basically event type, location and time.

These are stored in the "event" entity in the field "customfields" as follows:-

a:3:{i:4;s:7:"Concert";i:5;s:29:"Town Hall";i:6;s:3:"20:00";}

I've now created a page where I want to display these details. I can get the date and event title to show ok but when I add the customfield I'm obviously getting all the codes too.

How do I seperate this field so that I end up with Concert, Town Hall, 20:00 in variables so that I can output these on my page were required.

Thanks in anticipation of an answer

That string is a serialized array, so you'd run the value through the unserialize() php function, and the result should be an array of 3 strings.
