If Statement Question?

[twilitegxa]

I'm trying to write a code that will basically say:

 

 

If an image is present (<img src="image.jpg" />), leave formatting as is. But id there is no image present, display a 25px top margin. Is there a way to do this?

 

 

It's actually for a Wordpress site I'm working on, and the posts section has the right formatting I want when I place an image at the beginning of the post, but if no image is posted, the spacing is screwed up. Can anyone help?

why not use javascript for this?

 

but, are you pulling this information in via like an include or file_get_contents.. basically what I'm asking, do you have access to the content before it is output?

 

if so you can use preg_match to see if there is "<img" in the content.. if you don't have access to the content, than your best bet would be javascript.

Yes, I have access to the content before it is output. The code I will be using will go into a template that is used for all posts. Can you explain how I would do it please?

[RussellReal]

well you could do it..

 

$hasImage = ((stripos($content,'<img') > -1)? true:false);

 

or..

 

$hasImage = ((preg_match('/<img/i',$content))? true:false);
