   I have a custom field that I'm pulling from the database using the following code:

   <?php
   //if custom field is present, formulate and display link from meta value
   $some_var = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'some_var', true);
   if ($some_var){
   echo 'my html and text, and my new custom $some_var';
   }
   ?>

   That works great. Now, I'd like to add in some conditional statement that ONLY shows up if the custom field is filled out. Basically, I want to put a header around the text that $some_var will output. If it's not there, I don't want to have a piece of text floating around that means nothing. For example:

   Who we are:
   $who_we_are_var

   What we do:
   $what_we_do_var

   If the who we are var is empty, I don't want the "who we are" text/html to show up. Any help out there for a non-programmer? Thanks!

   You question confuses...as you seem to display a solution for the same problem in your code:
   

   if ($who_we_are_var){
   echo 'there is who we are';
   } else {
   echo 'there is NO who we are';
   }
