Question

Hi am trying to figure out how to use the strolower function and strtolower + str_replace function with the following code – <?php echo get_the_author_meta('custom_field_35', $user->ID); ?>

This is what I have so far but it’s not working –

 <?php
$str = "echo get_the_author_meta('custom_field_35', $user->ID);";
$str = strtolower($str);
echo $str; // Prints mary had a little lamb and she loved it so
?>

<?php $get_the_author_meta('custom_field_36', $user->ID) = strtolower(str_replace(",", "",$get_the_author_meta('custom_field_35', $user->ID))); ?>

How can I use strtolower and str_replace with get_the_author_meta?

Ok looks like I did not need to go back to learn basic PHP syntax rules, I was able to figure it out myself.

In case anyone else wants to know how I did it –

<?php
      $f_states = get_the_author_meta( 'custom_field_35', $user->ID, true );
$f_pr = get_the_author_meta( 'custom_field_36', $user->ID, true );
?>
<?php Print(strtolower(str_replace(",", "",$f_pr))); ?> <?php Print(strtolower($f_states)); ?>
