Getting The URL of an Uploaded Image

Hi Guys,

Adam helped me out to show the latest submitted form into a shortcode on another thread (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/showing-a-single-field-of-the-latest-entry-using-a-shortcode/#post-17554253)

Now, what I’m trying to do is showing an image using the same kind of shortcode, but I’m having a trouble to achieve that.

I added an Image upload field, I tried the code Adam gave me on the other thread and refer it to the Image-1 field. But it doesn’t work. I tried to var_dump(?) the data: it says like this:

["upload-1"]=> array(2) { 
    ["id"]=> string(3) "307" 
    ["value"]=> array(1) {
         ["file"]=> array(5) { 
            ["success"]=> bool(true) 
            ["file_name"]=> string(63) "image.jpg" 
            ["file_url"]=> string(173) "https://websitename/filepath/to/image.jpg" 
            ["message"]=> string(0) "" 
            ["file_path"]=> string(175) "filepath/to/the/hosting/image.jpg" 
       } 
    } 
}

Now, I want to get the URL on that Array, the [“file_url”]=> string(173) “https://websitename/filepath/to/image.jpg” section

The code Adam gave me that I modified is like this (it doesn’t work, only gave me a result of “value”):

add_shortcode( 'image1-last-entry', 'wpmu_shortcode_forminator_last_entry_field_image1' );
function wpmu_shortcode_forminator_last_entry_field_image1( $atts ) { 

	$a = shortcode_atts( array(
		'form_id' => 7266,
		'field' => 'upload-1',
	), $atts );

		
	$entry = Forminator_Form_Entry_Model::get_latest_entry_by_form_id( $a['form_id'] );
	
	if ($entry) { 
		//this is where i think i did wrong
		$html = $entry->meta_data[$a['field']][['value']['file']];
		
		if ($html) {

			return $html;
			
		}
	
	}

Now, my question is: how do i get the value of “file_url” inside the array inside array(?). I just need the return value of “https://websitename/filepath/to/image.jpg”

It might seem trivial for the other programmers but it keep bugging me out for a few days now.

thank you very much!
