 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to get a custom field data to display in a php statement.
 * I’m using flickr rss and I want the part in bold to be the content of a custom
   field – any ideas?
 * <?php get_flickrRSS(array(‘set’ => ‘**72157601681097311**‘, ‘num_items’ => 6,‘
   type’ => ‘set’, ‘id’ => ‘30735063@N03’)); ?>
 * thanks, Ross

 * Which post do you want to get the meta data from? and what’s the name of the 
   custom field you want data from?

 * I’d imagine you want something like this then..
 *     ```
       <?php
       // Get post meta data
       $custom_field = get_post_meta( $post->ID , 'flickr_gallery' , true );
   
       // Check if we have data
       if( $custom_field ) {
   
       	// We have data, do the thingy
       	get_flickrRSS( array( 'set' => $custom_field , 'num_items' => 6 , 'type' => 'set' , 'id' => '30735063@N03' ) );
   
       }
       // End if
       ?>
       ```
