   Hi,

   I am trying to write a conditional to only show results if their certain "disc" post meta value is equal to the current post or page's title.

   Here is my loop with the conditional I have going, which is currently just spitting out the post title for each result in the loop.

   <?php
      $pages = get_posts('numberposts=9999&post_type=song&post_status=publish&order=ASC&orderby=date');
   
      $i = 1;
      foreach( $pages as $page ) {
          $content = $page->post_title;
          if( empty($content) ) continue;
   
          $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); ?>
   
   	   <?php if(get_post_meta($page->ID, "p30-disc", true)==the_title()) { ?>
   
   	   <tbody class="vevent">
   
   	   <?php if ($i%2===0) { ?><tr class="gigpress-row gigpress-alt">
   
          <?php } else { ?><tr class="gigpress-row"><?php } ?>
   
          <td><?php echo $page->post_title ?></td>
   		<td><?php echo get_post_meta($page->ID, "p30-length", true); ?></td>
   		<td><a href="http://itunes.com/<?php echo get_post_meta($page->ID, "p30-itunes-song", true); ?>" class="blank">BUY</a></td>
   
   		</tr>
   
           <?php if ($page->post_content) { ?>
   
           <tr class="gigpress-info">
   
           <td colspan="3"><?php echo $page->post_content ?></td>
   
           </tr>
   
           <?php } ?>
   
           </tbody>	
   
   <?php $i++;
   
      } } ?>

   Thanks,
   Wade

   I realized I should rephrase the question a little better and it's past my edit time limit so basically:

   I need a conditional that says "if" a custom field/input value is equal to the current post/page title, then do something.

   Here is what I have, but it just displays the current page title as if I was just echoing it:

   <?php if(get_post_meta($page->ID, "p30-disc", true)==the_title()) { ?>

   as you are comparing strings, you would use get_the_title() :

   <?php if(get_post_meta($page->ID, "p30-disc", true)==get_the_title()) { ?>

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_title

   (you could also use the_title('','',false)
   setting the $display parameter to false

   Thanks a ton! It worked perfectly.
   I didn't know about that function, should come in handy.

   Thanks again.
