Content between shortcode to string

This is the official documentation:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Shortcode_API#Enclosing_vs_self-closing_shortcodes

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your response, I was unable to find how to take the content and input it into a string, do you know how to do this?

The example puts the value in a string variable called $content. You could do whatever you want with it inside the shortcode’s Function, caption_shortcode in this example.

If you want access to a string variable outside that function, add

global $aumx_shortcodetext;
$aumx_shortcodetext = $content;

into the shortcode’s Function. And add the same global statement to whatever code you want to use with the value.

Took me a minute but I got it, thanks for your help!

One more quick question, what is $atts?
function content_set1( $atts, $caption = null ) {
}

$atts would be an empty string in your case. Otherwise, they are used to store the parameters in a shortcode call, such as [mytable cols=”3″] where cols would be the parameter.

ok, thank you for your help!
