Custom Field, IF & Require_Once

    Hey All!

    I have a bit of a PHP question about using an advanced custom field in a IF statement and then in a require_once.

    Here is my issue…

    I am using the following IF statement:

    <?php
if(get_field('CUSTOM_FIELD'))
{
	echo '<p>' . get_field('CUSTOM_FIELD') . '</p>';
}
?>

    However I would like to create a IF statement that will then trigger a require_once action that uses the custom field as the file name.

    Example:

    <?php
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/files/CUSTOM_FIELD.php';
?>

    Any guidance on this would be really appreciated!

    $field = get_field('CUSTOM_FIELD');
if ($field) {
  $file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/files/' . $field '.php';
  require_once( $file);
}

    Thanks Steve!

    Works perfectly, I just added a missing full stop after the field and will share code below to help anyone in the future.

    $field = get_field('CUSTOM_FIELD');
if ($field) {
  $file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/files/' . $field . '.php';
  require_once( $file);
}
