# Conditional Gallery?

 * Right now, I’m inserting a gallery into a post directly via the template file.
   However, some posts don’t have galleries.
 * Here’s what I’ve got now:
 *     ```
       <h2>Gallery</h2>
               <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery option1="value1"]'); ?>
       ```
   
 * Is there any way that I can make the `<h2>Gallery</h2>` _not_ show if there’s
   no gallery?
 * I searched the codex, but there doesn’t appear to be any if_gallery functionality.
   Any thoughts?

 * Wondering whether `if ( gallery_shortcode() )` works.

 * Perfect! That worked. I just didn’t know what I needed to look for in the codex.
   Thanks Zeo!
