PHP synthax help

[alanzap]

Hi All, I think it's a synthax issue I have, I'm new to php coding as you can undoubtedly see from this code, but

What I'm trying to do below is Check if    get_post_meta( get_theID(), 'jv_item_video1', true );    has been filled in and if it has then show whats in the <iframe></iframe>

Upto now the previous part would display a video from the users input, but if they didnt input into that specific field, it would show the frame with a 404 error inside, so I tried to add the if statement.

 

Any help is much appreciated:)

<?php $youtube_link = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'jv_item_video1', true );   ?>
<?php
if (!empty($youtube_link)) {
?>

    <iframe width="300" height="200" src="<?php echo str_replace('watch?v=','embed/', $youtube_link); ?>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
	</div>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Previous - 

<?php $youtube_link = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'jv_item_video1', true );   ?>

    <iframe width="300" height="200" src="<?php echo str_replace('watch?v=','embed/', $youtube_link); ?>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</div>

That code looks fine to me. What is the issue?

Thanks for looking,

If the field is filled it shows the video's no problem, but if it's empty, it's showing the frame with a 404 error.

What is the output of  var_dump($youtube_link);

Thanks Ch0cu3r, looking at the result of that made me see an earlier error. Have it sorted now. Much appreciated!
