   I use this line to display a custom field (photograoher) on single.php...

   <?php $key="photographer"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>

   Say the custom field "photographer" has not been added to a specific post. Is there anyway to just display a standard text then - "Not known" or something like that?

   Regards,
   Anders

   Something like:
   

   <?php
   $key="photographer";
   $custom=get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);
   if ($custom) {
   echo $custom
   } else {
   echo 'Not known';
   }
   ?>

   That returns an error... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in /home...
