i.e [test somevalues=1,2,3,4,5]

First time poster and alsoa php newb, I'm trying to add a feature to a plugin but I seem to keep triggering a debug notice from wordpress.

$somearray = shortcode_atts([
               'somevalues' => null,
    ], $atts);
$somearray['somevalues'] = array_map( 'trim', str_getcsv( $somearray['somevalues'], ',' ) );

The above does work, but it results in a debug Notice: wpdb::prepare was called incorrectly.

Is there a way to achieve the same without triggering the notice? It doesn't have to be csv, I just need it to return a string of somevalues, rather than returning an int. I guess what I want it to act like is as if it was written like [test somevalues=one,two,three,four,five]

Edit: Found original stack post from 3 years ago which is exactly what I'm trying to achieve Retrieve multiple values passed to a single attribute in a shortcode

Any suggestions on how to get around this? Many thanks

  • Please show your full code, it's not possible to see how that error is triggered, in the code you have shared. Commented Jan 30, 2021 at 12:58
  • So you're just asking how to convert the string "1,2,3,4,5" into an array by splitting the string on commas? Commented Jan 30, 2021 at 13:50
  • I'll see to sharing a large chunk of code or a fully working demo piece. @Rup, yes something like that, the issue I'm facing is if I leave the input to somevalues from the shortcode as is a user can put in 1,2,3 but the array will only see the first value 1 and discard the rest due it treating the key as an int.

  • This might help: wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/42526/7968 and I guess you based your code from here:wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/269660/7968 which seems to be a working example, so I would read that again carefully. Commented Jan 30, 2021 at 21:28
  • @Q Studio, Thank you, you prompted me to go and check line for line took hours, I was passing multiple arguments to $args within a single attribute that turned out to be part of another plugin which was causing the notice, I changed the key in $args and it stopped, so it was a conflict.
