I have a field that is a multi-checkbox from a valuelists. This field also serves as the title field for this record. However, my function simply returns the word ‘array’.

Code: Select all

function getTitle(&$record){       return $record->val('Exterior');    }

Any ideas?

Multi-checkbox fields are stored as an array. The val() method returns the contents of a field as they are stored (dates will also return arrays). If you want to ensure that you are getting the string version you should use either strval() or display()
