#  Frequently Asked Questions

Here's a list of the most frequently asked questions about the Advanced Custom Fields extension

## [How to load an article's custom fields with PHP?](#load_field_programmatically)

To get the article's custom fields programmatically with PHP, use the code below:

 ```
$article_id = 5; // Enter your article ID here

$model = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Article', 'ContentModel');
$article = $model->getItem($article_id);

JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');
$fields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_content.article', $article, true);
```

The *$fields* variables is an Array of Objects, and you can loop through it like in the example below:

 ```
foreach ($fields as $key => $field)
{
    echo $field->title . ' = ' . $field->rawvalue;
}
```
