Using a conditional to display field content

[rouviere]

I want to be able to display a div and its content only if the field has something in it. In this case, it is a photo.

I would like to do something like this:

if the lead_photo field is not empty, display the following:

<div class="article-photo col-sm-9">
  <img class="img-responsive pull-right" src="<?php the_field('lead_photo'); ?>" alt="" />
</div>

What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks.

  <?php

  // Cache the resource
  $photo = the_field('lead_photo');
  // Perform if statement
  // 'Close' PHP, insert our HTML
  if ($photo) { ?>
    <div class="article-photo col-sm-9">
      <img class="img-responsive pull-right" src="<?php echo $photo; ?>" alt="" />
    </div>
  // 'Open' PHP, and close the if statement
  <?php } ?>

Thank you both for your feedback. I am always grateful when people take time to respond to my inquiries.

Doc, your solution was spot on.
