      I have the following function which returns a list of the top level Menu Items:

      `
      function get_top_level_menu_items()
      {
      global $menu;

      $menu_zero = array_column($menu, 0);
      foreach (array_keys($menu_zero, ”, true) as $key) {
      unset($menu_zero[$key]);
      }

      return $menu_zero;
      }
      `

      What I would like to do is create a select box, checkbox (or something similar) that is populated by this list of menu items. I’m not sure, though, how to do that. How can I access the $menu_zero array inside of piklist?

      Since that function is already returning an array, it’s super easy:

      
piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'select'
  ,'field' => 'top_level_menu'
  ,'label' => 'Choose Menu'
  ,'choices' => get_top_level_menu_items()
));

      Thanks – I’ll remember that for the future. In the meantime, I got it to work by removing the function and just using the code in the settings page — like this:

      `
      global $menu;

      $menu_zero = array_column($menu, 0);
      foreach (array_keys($menu_zero, ”, true) as $key) {
      unset($menu_zero[$key]);
      }

      piklist(‘field’, array(
      ‘type’ => ‘select’
      ,’field’ => ‘top_level_menu’
      ,’label’ => ‘Choose Menu’
      ,’choices’ => $menu_zero
      ));
      `

      That works too!
