Selector::value() method

Get the value(s) of this Selector

Available since version 3.0.42. Prior versions only supported the 'value' property.

Usage

$string = $selector->value();

// usage with all arguments
$string = $selector->value($forceString = true);

  • false (bool): to return string if 1 value, or array of multiple values (same behavior as value property).
  • 1 (int): to return only the first value (string).
