Show if extra field contains a spesific value was created by neppers

How can I show some code in item.php if a extra field contains a spesific value?

<?php if(isset($this->item->extraFields->type->value CONTAINS CAR)): ?>


<img src="/images/car.jpg">

<?php endif; ?>

You are halfway there. Since you are using multiple values you need to use this function php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php in an extra if / else clause.

<?php $cars = array("Value1", "Value2", "Value3", "Value4");
if( isset($this->item->extraFields->EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE->value) && 
	in_array("CAR_VALUE", $this->item->extraFields->EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE->value) ): ?>

	Do Something
<?php endif; ?>

*this is untested

Thank you, but I am struggling to see the logic in this one. Can I ask you to explain Value1, Value2 etc and the CAR_VALUE?

Bear with me, and feel free to respond.

Sorry the code should be:

in_array( $this->item->extraFields->EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE->value, $cars)

Value1, Value2 are simply the values you want to check.

I still just get it to "Do nothing":

<?php $type = array("car");
if( isset($this->item->extraFields->Vaskeanvisning->value) &&
in_array( $this->item->extraFields->Vaskeanvisning->value, $type) ): ?>

Do Something
<?php else: ?>
Do Nothing

<?php endif; ?>

The extra field is a Multi-select list, and one of the selections contains the value car.

What does this produce?

<?php var_dump($this->item->extraFields->Vaskeanvisning->value); ?>

How about:

<?php
$input = $this->item->extraFields->Vaskeanvisning->value;
$searchword = 'foo';
if (strpos($input, $searchword) !== false) {
echo 'foo has been found';
}
?>

strpos() php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php will also do the trick :)
