php - update_post_meta Not Processing Array Data (Not Sure What I Am Missing)

admin管理员组

文章数量:1418592

Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who is taking the time to respond. So here is what I am trying to achieve: Essentially I am trying to create a plugin to just edit all the meta descriptions on my pages from a plugin admin page.

I am doing this by using the following logic - print all the metas from the database on a page. Using jQuery AJAX get all of the page ids and values from said page. On submit - push all the updated values to their respective spots in the database and update those meta descriptions.

I am not sure if I have flawed code on a conceptual level or if there is just something basic I am missing but below is the code that I have written. I have tried reading and testing just about everything I can and no avail. Any enlightenment would be greatly apprecaite.

Please note - my callback function has three foreach loops - none of which work but I left them so that you can see a few things that I have tried.

Thanks again!

$post_id is never defined in any of your update loops, and this shows that a simple single loop is not enough to achive this.

Since you are looping two concurrently created arrays, you would need to do something like this instead, using the index to match values:

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($post_ids); $i++ ) {
    update_post_meta( $post_ids[$i], '_metadescs', $metas[$i] );
}

Alternatively you could do a loop within a loop and match the index this way:

foreach ( $post_ids as $i => $post_id ) {
    foreach ( $metas as $j => $meta ) {
        if ($i == $j) {update_post_meta( $post_id, '_metadescs', $meta );}
    }
}
