The following PHP in a node tpl file:
check_plain($node->field_room[$node->language][0]['value']) Will print this in the page: Value1
What I want however is if the field has a value of 'Value1' then I want to print something else on the page. Ive tried the following but I think I have a syntax error:
if ( check_plain($node->field_room[$node->language][0]['value']) == "Value1" ) { echo "<p>Print something else </p>"; } There's no syntax error in the second code sample, if you're getting a syntax error it's not coming from those lines.
The best way to get values from an entity is with field_get_items():
$items = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_room'); if (count($items) && check_plain($items[0]['value']) == 'Value1') { // Do something } But unless you have some sort of multi-lingual issue the code you've got should do exactly the same thing as that, so the problem might be elsewhere.
