Need help with PHP if statement WordPress

I have a snippet of code that basically says to show a field if it's populated. It's an Advanced Custom Field text field.

Here's the working code:


<?php if (get_field('oil_pdf')): ?>

<img src="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>media/oil-icon-pdf.png"></a>

<?php endif; ?>


I need to change the code to only show if the text field (oil_pdf) includes '.pdf' somewhere in the text string. Not just 'pdf' but '.pdf'

I posted this here before, and a couple people told me to try this:

<?php if (strpos(get_field('oil_pdf'),'.pdf') !== false): ?>
<img src="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>media/oil-icon-pdf.png"></a>
<?php endif; ?>


I thought the above worked, but it's actually not displaying the icon for anything now, even the fields that do have .pdf in them.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Probably that code should work.

Can you make sure get_field('oil_pdf') is not empty?

And also make sure get_field('oil_pdf') returning a string. Please try to echo get_field('oil_pdf') and share the result here.

dimadin answers:

Are you using get_field(); inside a loop where it can access global post ID for right post? As others have said, please show example of some of its values, using var_dump() also so we can see type of value.

replace
<?php if (get_field('oil_pdf')): ?>
<img src="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>media/oil-icon-pdf.png"></a>
<?php endif; ?>

by
<?php var_dump((get_field('oil_pdf')));
if (get_field('oil_pdf')): ?>
<img src="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>media/oil-icon-pdf.png"></a>
<?php endif; ?>


and tell me what is returned

Maybe get_field('oil_pdf') return an array
