Converting CCv6 shortcode to PHP

Convert a CCv6 shortcode to PHP.

Overview

The issue arises when trying to translate a specific CCv6 array shortcode syntax into PHP code.
To access the data, use the get method with the correct key structure. For array data, you may need to loop through the results.

Quick question, how do we convert the following to PHP?

In CC: {var:php.[n].Model.field}

We tried $this->get('php.[n].Model.field') but obviously that didn't work.

Not sure what you mean with php.[n]. but may be it helps if you use
$a=$this->data['model']['field'];

you can use it in php funtions inside CC

$this->get("php") then loop on it with a foreach, because the [n] syntax will need using a special function

Thanks max!

@teldrive. If you do a read_data, you can obtain an array of all the values of a field by using that shortcode. Eg {var.read_data.[n].Model.field} will give you an array with {var.read_data.0.Model.field}, {var.read_data.1.Model.field}, {var.read_data.2.Model.field}, etc.

Useful to be re-used in another read_data. Eg we used read_data1 to obtain a list of userid (array) from database, then use that array as condition in another read_data.

Actually $this->get("read_data.[n].Model.field") should work!!
