how to use wireArray

[dev_panther]

When I'm using wireArray, both with repeater and image field with more than one image, I have a problem getting the content of the array. 

For example, I have the following code where info_tabs is a repeater of textarea fields. 

$texts = $page->info_tabs;
foreach ($texts as $tab){
    echo "<div>;
    echo $tab;
    echo "</div>;
}

Instead of echoing the text, the page is echoing numbers, it is echoing the numbers 1029-1032. why is that?

Since a Repeater item is a kind of page the numbers are the id's of the extries of the repeater...

so have a closer look at:

https://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/repeaters/

like in the example you have to call the fields like:

foreach ($page->info_tabs as $tab){
    echo "<div>";
    echo $tab->title;

    //or if you have a special text field
    echo $tab->myFieldName;
    echo "</div>";
}

thanks! can you maybe that also for the case of images array? Because in that case each image doesn't have a field (or does it?)

right now i use 

foreach($images as image){
  $imagesrc = "{$image->url}{$image}";
}

to get the whole image src, but it seems kind of redundant. Is there a better way?

The url field should give you the complete relative url to the image. 

foreach($images as $image){
  echo "<img src='$image->url' alt='$image->description'>";
}

hi dev_panther,
