# Need Simple PHP Code

 * Right now I use WP Post Thumbnail (plugin) and the following code to pull up 
   images:
    **<img src=”<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘pft_square’, true);?
   >” alt=”<?php the_title(); ?>” class=”img” />**
 * I need a code which will pull up not only **pft_square **but **pft_widescreen**
   and **pft_rectangle** also. Only one image will be displayed for each post, so
   it needs to also recognize when no thumbnail is given if possible.

 * how is it supposed to work, that the first image found of the 3 possible images
   is the one displayed, checking in the order you specified?

 * The order doesn’t matter, as long as it only displays one of the images.

 * Try this code (didn’t test it). It reads 1st custom field. If its empty or not
   existing it reads second, if 2nd empty or not existing reads 3rd.
    When a value
   has been stored to the variable (meaning it found a custom field) it displays
   the image it found. If none found no image is displayed.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $src = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_square', true);
       if (!$src) get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_widescreen', true);
       if (!$src) get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_rectangle', true);
       if ($src) { ?>
          <img src="<?php echo $src); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="img" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```

 * I bet the plugin author would give you some help. Have you tried asking or dropping
   a comment on the plugin’s page? That’s a pretty nifty plugin, BTW.

 * stvwlf, slight error mate in what you post…
 * These 2 lines…
 *     ```
       if (!$src) get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_widescreen', true);
       if (!$src) get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_rectangle', true);
       ```
   
 * … i believe should be..
 *     ```
       if (!$src) $src = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_widescreen', true);
       if (!$src) $src = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_rectangle', true);
       ```
   
 * Ternary equivalent… (for the sake of doing the same, another way..)
 *     ```
       <?php
       $src = (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_square', true)) ? get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_square', true) : false;
       $src = (!$src && get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_widescreen', true)) ? get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_widescreen', true) : false;
       $src = (!$src && get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_rectangle', true)) ? get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_rectangle', true) : '/path/to/default/image.jpg';
       ?>
       <img src="<?php echo $src); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="img" />
       ```
