Wordpress - replace variable with a name

Hi,

I have tis code

<'.if (get_post_meta($post->ID,"_as_roomtype",true) == 'DE').'>
<a href="'.get_permalink().'" class="readnow" >"---NAME---"</a>

Code (markup):

I have values on "meta_value" like "DE", "UK", "SP"

I need to make something like that.

if the value on ""meta_value" = "DE" show Germany on "---NAME---"
if the value on ""meta_value" = "UK" show United Kingdom on "---NAME---"
if the value on ""meta_value" = "SP" show Spain on "---NAME---"

How can I make this?

Thank you for your help

 

If you only have a few of these, and feel okay doing this manually, you can just assign the values to an array, something like this:

$countries = array(0 => array(1 => 'DE', 2=> 'Germany'), 1 => array(1 => 'UK', 2 => 'United Kingdom'), 2 => array(1 => 'SP', 2 => 'Spain'));

PHP:

and then do something like this:

for ($i = 0; $i < count($countries); $i++) {
echo '<'.if (get_post meta($post->ID,"_as_roomtype",true) == $countries[$i][1]).'>
<a href="'.get_pemalink().'" class="readnow">'.$countries[$i][2].'</a>';
}

PHP:

I think that should work, haven't tested it though

 

Try something like this:

<?php
$meta_values = array('DE' => 'Germany', 'UK' => 'United Kingdom', 'SP' => 'Spain');
if ($meta_key = get_post_meta($post->ID,"_as_roomtype",true)):
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" class="readnow" ><?php echo $meta_values[$meta_key]; ?></a>

Code (markup):

 

First of, where the hell is $meta_key assigned? And second, the $meta_key is not compared, it's assigned, and will always return whatever the get_post_meta is returning....

 

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help.
Already try many combinations.

Last combination is

$meta_values = array('DE' => 'Germany', 'UK' => 'United Kingdom', 'SP' => 'Spain');
if ($meta_key = get_post_meta($post->ID,"_as_roomtype",true));

Code (markup):

I have to put ; instead of : on ..._as_roomtype",true)); if I put : gives me a error.

I try to insert the code like this

<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="readnow" ><?php echo $meta_values[$meta_key]; ?></a>

Code (markup):

gives me empty spaces.



I try to make like this only to test

<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="readnow" >'.$meta_values.'</a>

Code (markup):

and gives me array

 

A better test would be:

<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="readnow" >'.$meta_key.'</a>

PHP:

What do you get for that? I have a feeling its a case sensitive issue, in which case can be solved by:

<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" class="readnow" ><?php echo $meta_values[strtoupper($meta_key)]; ?></a>
