This is probably a simple php question but I am not sure how to create the code.

What code is required to some text if a field exists?

I know how to do it if a position contains info.
Code:
<?php if (isset($this->item->positions['NAME'])) : ?>display some text<?php endif; ?>

just not sure how to write the code for a specific field.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

May be using :
Code:
if(isset($this->fields['FIELD_NAME']->value)): .... endif;

thanks so much for the reply.

I added the code but the text is still continuing to be displayed if the the field has a value or not. what if I added something like !='' to the statement
Code:
if(isset($this->fields['FIELD_NAME']->value) !='') :

I tried this statement but it did not work, perhaps some variation of this?

Thanks!

And just with :
Code:
if($this->fields['FIELD_NAME']->value !='') :

or
Code:
if($this->fields['FIELD_NAME']->display !='') :
