Add image to a product attributes

Question

i use this code to assign a image to a drop product attribute named stock_status (a dropdown att):

<?php $_stockStatus = $_product->getAttributeText('stock_status'); ?><img src="/media/atticons/<?php echo $_stockStatus; ?>.png">

every thing is allright .but in product pages which are not connected to this attribute or do not have any value of this attribute, a broken image with this location address will shown: mysite.com/media/atticons/.png. how to remove this image from product pages which are not connected to stock_status attribute?

Answer 1

Easy option:

<?php 
    if($_product->getAttributeText('stock_status')):
        //do something
    endif;
?>

EDIT:

<?php if($_stockStatus = $_product->getAttributeText('stock_status')): ?>
    <img src="/media/atticons/<?php echo $_stockStatus ?>.png">
<?php endif; ?>

Above will not work if you have space in the attribute, so you could do this:

<?php if($_stockStatus = $_product->getAttributeText('stock_status')): ?>
        <?php 
          $_stockStatus = $_product->getAttributeText('stock_status'); // get value .
          $_stockStatus = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z]+/", "-", $_stockStatus); // replace space with _ .
          $_stockStatus  = strtolower($_stockStatus ); // change to lower cases .
        ?>
       <img src="/media/atticons/<?php echo $_stockStatus ?>.png">
    <?php endif; ?>
