Im trying to get the object value of structure field

kirby()->hook('panel.page.update', function($page) {

  $getModulesList = $page->module_items()->toStructure();

  var_dump($getModulesList);
  exit();

  if($courses = db::table('courses')->insert(array(
    'modules_select_page' => $page,
    'modules_select_value'    => $value
  )));
});

and im getting this.

  object(Structure)#429 (3) {
  [0]=>
  object(Structure)#430 (1) {
    ["modules_select"]=>
    object(Field)#431 (3) {
      ["page"]=>
      string(33) "courses/cat-care-and-training-101"
      ["key"]=>
      string(14) "modules_select"
      ["value"]=>
      string(23) "Captive Animals Pathway"
    }
  }
  [1]=>
  object(Structure)#432 (1) {
    ["modules_select"]=>
    object(Field)#433 (3) {
      ["page"]=>
      string(33) "courses/cat-care-and-training-101"
      ["key"]=>
      string(14) "modules_select"
      ["value"]=>
      string(32) "Certificate II in Animal Studies"
    }
  }
  [2]=>
  object(Structure)#434 (1) {
    ["modules_select"]=>
    object(Field)#435 (3) {
      ["page"]=>
      string(33) "courses/cat-care-and-training-101"
      ["key"]=>
      string(14) "modules_select"
      ["value"]=>
      string(44) "Certificate III in Companion Animal Services"
    }
  }
}

now i want is to get the value from there and save it to database whenever the page is updated. I used hook to do that. How to get these value like “courses/cat-care-and-training-101” and “Certificate II in Animal Studies” etc. so i can insert them to db.

Since this is a structure field with multiple items, you have to loop through the items and then insert each line into the database:

kirby()->hook('panel.page.update', function($page) {

  $getModulesList = $page->module_items()->toStructure();

  foreach($getModulesList as $module):
    if($courses = db::table('courses')->insert(array(
      'modules_select_page' => $page->uri(),
      'modules_select_value'    => $module->modules_select()->value(),
    )));
});

Note that you might end up with duplicated entries if you don’t check beforehand if these entries already exist.

Further information:

kirby()->hook('panel.page.update', function($page) {
  $getModulesList = $page->module_items()->toStructure();
    foreach ($getModulesList as $item) {
      $getCoursesID = db::table('courses')->select(array('id'))->where(array('uri' => $page->uid()))->all();

      db::table('courses_modules')->insert(array(
          'course_id' => $getCoursesID->id(),
          'module_id' => $item->modules_select()->value
      ));
     }

im getting nulled in $getCoursesID->id()
I need to save all structures added the ( 5,6,7 ) in database

Are you saving the URI or the UID?

And supposing your $getCourseId is an array, then you can’t just call the id(of what?). That would only work if it was a single element.

Make a dump of getCoursesID to see what you get.

heres the var_dump of getCoursesID

object(Collection)#483 (1) {
 [0]=>
 object(Obj)#484 (1) {
 ["id"]=>
 int(91)
 }
}

now my problem is how to get all the values in the structure. coz this $item->modules_select()->value only give me the first value.

i want to save them on db in this format

id | course_id | module_id
1 | 91 | 5
2 | 91 | 6
3 | 91 | 7

sorry im still learning in programming.

May I suggest that before you try to save anything in a database, you first familiarize yourself with the structure field using the documentation I linked to?

Try to output what you have in that field in a normal template, so that you get an idea how it works. I think we don’t get anywhere if the basics are missing and you are trying to do complicated stuff.

$item->modules_select()->value() is called in a foreach loop, so in the first run of the loop it gives you the first value, then the second etc.

May I ask how advanced your PHP knowledge is? Do you know how to handle arrays etc.?

Maybe you can also post your blueprint yaml for the structure field here.
