 * I’m trying to get custom fields working with a php call in the loop. Here’s the
   code that I currently have, but I know isn’t working. The idea is that if there’s
   an image listed in the custom field in an entry, it will display on the post.
   If not, nothing prints. Here’ the code:
 *     ```
       <?php //get article_image (custom field) ?>
       <?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'article_image', true); ?>
       ```
   
 * And the code for the entry:
 * `<?php if ($image) { print '<img class="article_image" src="<?php echo $image;?
   >"><br /><br />'; } ?>`
 * The only problem is that it doesn’t actually print out the image url, the php
   echo call is always still in the code as not being parsed. Since I don’t know
   a whole lot about php, this is stumping me. Anyone care to take a gander?

 * fixed it using this code (which is sort of clunky):
 * `<?php if ($image) { echo '<p><img class="article_image" src="'; } ?><?php echo
   $image; ?><?php if ($image) { echo '"></p>'; } ?>`
