Adding plain text to a custom field

    I have set up a couple of custom fields for my clients website.

    I have done this in the index.php file:

    <p class=”specialoffernormalprice”><span>Normal Price:</span> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, “NormalPrice”, true); ?></p>

    The only problem with this is that the text ‘Normal Price’ displays on the web-page even if the custom field is not being used in a particular post because I’ve added it outside of the custom field code.

    Is there a way of adding this text inside the <?php ?> tag so that the title ‘Normal Price’ (and of course the custom field value) is ONLY displayed on the post when this custom field has been selected.

    Thanks,
    A

    Give this a try:

    <?php $price = get_post_meta($post->ID, "NormalPrice", true);
if ($price) { ?>
   <p class="specialoffernormalprice"><span>Normal Price:</span> <?php echo $price; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
