Simple PHP question on if/else statements

  • Hi guys,

    I instelled WordPress Custom Field Template and I use getCustomField(‘name’) in order to get the value I need.

    I’m working on an if/else statement, but it doen’t work.

    <?php
	$condition = getCustomField('Show date');
	if ($condition == 'yes') {
		the_date();
	} else {
	        echo "Nothing interesting to show.";
	}
?>

    But this function doesn’t work. $condition is empty if I echo it and the result is “yesNothing interesting to show”, like it prints the getCustomField function instead to keep it into the variable.

    How can I do?

    Thanks in advice.

  • Hello,

    I don’t know what your function is trying to do, but WordPress has this covered with get_post_meta

    $condition = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Show date', true);
if($condition == 'yes')
   the_date();
else
   echo 'Nothing interesting to show.';

    get_post_meta
