_wp_array_get( array $input_array, array $path, mixed $default_value = null ): mixed
Accesses an array in depth based on a path of keys.
Description
It is the PHP equivalent of JavaScript’s lodash.get() and mirroring it may help other components retain some symmetry between client and server implementations.
Example usage:
$input_array = array(
'a' => array(
'b' => array(
'c' => 1,
),
),
);
_wp_array_get( $input_array, array( 'a', 'b', 'c' ) );Parameters
