IF statement inside a function to get value from an ACF field – WordPress

I’m trying to create custom function in WordPress with ACF, and use it as a shortcode.

What I want to do is quite simple:

  • Get a field from ACF
  • Check if the text is "not found" or something else
  • If it’s something else, I’ll show an H2 and a sentence with field content.
  • If its "not found" I don’t want to show anything

I tried various code, here’s my last one:

// write a shortcode that creates a text if the field is not "not found"

function show_alliance() {
    $alliance = get_field('field_6383d4b46deed');

    if ($alliance !='not found'): {
        return '<h2>TITLE</h2><p>This is... '. $alliance .' </p>';
    }
    else: {
        return '';}
    }

add_shortcode('alliance', 'show_alliance')

By WordPress always comes up with errors when I save my snippet. I can’t find a way to make it work.

(I use Code Snippets in WordPress)

Any ideas?
(I’m sure it’s very simple…)

—

Tried different syntax, but WordPress never validates the code snippet.

Last one is:

`L’extrait de code que vous essayez d’enregistrer a produit une erreur fatale à la ligne 11 :

syntax error, unexpected ‘}’`

When I delete the } to put it a the end it tells me that I should not have it there…

    Here's the answer that works :

    function show_alliance() {
    $alliance = get_field('field_6383d4b46deed');
    if ($alliance !='not found') {
        return '<h2>TITLE</h2><p>This is... '. $alliance .' </p>';
    }
    else {
        return '';
    }
}
add_shortcode('alliance', 'show_alliance');

    Please try this code I think this is working fine.

    **PHP Code**

<?php if(get_field('field_6383d4b46deed')){ ?><h2>TITLE</h2><p>This is... '. $alliance .' </p>
else ?>
echo' ';
<?php } ?>
