PHP and ACF - Is it possible to do if/else in regards to field name to output value?

Question

I am at the moment doing shortcodes for ACF, and wanted to know if there is a way of shortening it, instead of re-creating the same shortcode again and again, only to change the $value.

Here is the code:

function acf_shortcode_distance( $atts ) {
  
  // extract attributs
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'field'      => '',
    'post_id'    => false,
    'format_value'  => true
  ), $atts ) );
  
  
  // get value and return it
  $value = get_field( $field, $post_id, $format_value );
  if (empty($value)) {
    return '';
  }
  
  // array
  if( is_array($value) ) {
    $value = @implode( ', ', $value );
  }
  $value = '<img src="distance-logo.svg" alt="distance-logo" class="svg-img"><br/><p>Distance: '.$value.'</p>';
  // return
  return $value;
}

add_shortcode('acf_if_value_distance', 'acf_shortcode_distance');

What I need is to make value outputs in regards to the given ACF field I am using. Something like:

  if( is_array($value) ) {
    $value = @implode( ', ', $value );
  }
--- IF FIELD = DISTANCE, OUTPUT THIS:
  $value = '<img src="distance-logo.svg" alt="distance-logo" class="svg-img"><br/><p>Distance: '.$value.'</p>';

--- IF FIELD = TIME, OUTPUT THIS:
  $value = '<img src="time-logo.svg" alt="distance-logo" class="svg-img"><br/><p>Time: '.$value.'</p>';

--- ETC. ETC. FOR EACH NEW FIELD
  // return
  return $value;
}

Is there any way around doing this? Everything I've tried does not work, and I think re-creating the whole shortcode for the 15+ fields I have is a bit extreme!

I hope someone can guide me on the way, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I would look at a switch statement for this - https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php

Avoids a lot of if, else if and makes it easier and cleaner to follow the logic. Which could be nothing if empty or doesn't have a match.
