Function Reference/get usermeta

← Return to function reference.

This function has been deprecated. That means it has been replaced by a new function or is no longer supported, and may be removed from future versions. All code that uses this function should be converted to use its replacement if one exists. See also wp-includes/deprecated.php.

This function is deprecated as of Version 3.0. Please use get_user_meta instead.

Description

This function returns the value of a specific metakey pertaining to the user whose ID is passed via the userid parameter.

Version 2.9.2 currently requires the use of this function despite previous notes stating that it is depreciated. Using the new fuction causes undefined function error. Below is the information I have removed.


Usage

 <?php get_usermeta( $userid, $metakey ); ?> 

Parameters

$userid
(integer) (required) The ID of the user whose data should be retrieved.
Default: None
$metakey
(string) (required) The metakey value to be returned.
Default: None

Example

This example returns and then displays the last name for user id 9. 

<?php $user_last = get_usermeta(9,'last_name'); ?>
<?php echo('User ID 9's last name: ' . $user_last . '\n'); ?>
User ID 9's last name: Jones
NOTE
If the meta value does not exist, the function will return an empty string or an empty array.

Change Log

Since: 2.0.0
