getAttributetext() not working when there is only one value?

Question

$product->getAttributeText('att_code'); not working when there is only one value for dropdown,multiselect attribute.

I am having a very strange problem in fetching multiselect option value on the frontend when there is only one option is selected for multiselect attribute.

Let's take an example i have a multiselect attribute "color_section" when i select two values from admin panel for any product it starts showing on frontend using $product->getAttributeText('color_section'); but when i select single value it doesn't give anything.

Please answer if anyone have gone through this.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

getAttributeText() is able to give you all the labels for a field, the "problem" is, that if only one field is chosen, it returns a string, if more than one field is chosen it returns an array of strings.

So you have to check whether it is an array or a string and process it.
