Live Merge Tag Modifier: img

<?php
/**
 * Gravity Perks // Populate Anything // Live Merge Tag Modifier: img
 * https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-populate-anything/
 *
 * Use the "img" modifier to output an image, rather than the merge tag's default output.
 *
 * For example, here is a field configured to allow the user to select from a list of posts. The value of each choice is
 * the attachment ID of the featured image (e.g. "_thumbnail_id").
 *
 * ![Screenshot of field settings](https://gravitywiz.com/app/uploads/2026/05/live-merge-tag-modifier-img.png)
 *
 * In an HTML field on the same form, use the @{Field Label:1:value,img} to take the attachment ID (which is the value
 * of the choice) and output the image it references.
 *
 * This also works with any field that is populated with an image URL including comma-delimited lists of URLs. This is
 * relevant when populating URLs into text inputs from a File Upload field.
