Is there a php function that will return the contents of a custom text box in a particular user's profile? for example getCustom(userID, fieldID)

I looked here but didn't see anything quite like that.

Thanks!
Hi,

You can try, given a unique key of a field:

Foundry::user( $userid )->getFieldValue( $uniquekey );

Thanks Jason! I had some trouble when the name of the field had a hyphen (-) in it, but once I removed that, the command worked perfectly. thank you!

Hi,

Great. We will cross check against the issue with hyphen.
