Question

How can I display certain image in a post if that post contains a specific custom value.
For example, I have two posts, one has a custom field named top_post and its value is true. The other one doesn’t have that value at all. I want the one with this value set to true to have image displayed (an image that shows it’s a top post) and the one without the value to show nothing.

I know that the function would be something like “if top_post value is ‘true’ then display img(url)” but I don’t know how to write that function as I’m just a PHP beginner.

Any help appreciated.

EDIT: I tried finding the function code on various coding blogs but didn’t succeed… Also, I have no function coding experiences and that’s why I was asking for a function code.

To expand on Atiaxi’s answer, and perhaps make it a bit more readable for you as a beginner in php:

if ($top_post == true)
{
    echo "<img src='top_post_image.png'>";
} else {
    echo "<img src='blank.png'>"; //you could also leave this line out if you want 'nothing'
}
