  I’m trying to use the content in a subfield in a repeater to check against the url of my site to select a different template part, but I keep getting stuck in a loop and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

  <?php 
  
  $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 
  //repeater  
  if(have_rows('new_banner') ):
      while( have_rows('new_banner') ) : the_row();
    //get subfield value to check against the URI
        if($uri == get_sub_field('full_value')){
          echo 'true';
          // If subfield value matches URI select this template part.
     get_template_part('templates/frontpage', 'masthead-alt');
  
  }else{
    // If subfield is not a match or anything else then get the other template part.
  echo 'false';
   get_template_part('templates/frontpage', 'masthead'); 
    }
  
    endwhile;
  endif;
  
  ?>

  Any help?

  Henry,

  Is this all of your code your using at the top of your template file?

  I ended up getting this figured out.The fix that worked was having two if statements rather than an if/else statement. I used a simple variable to help with getting the template i needed.

  <?php
  $banners = get_field('new_banner');
  $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  $host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
  ?>
  
  <?php 
  
  $match = 0;
  
    foreach($banners as $banner){
    	$banner_match = $banner['full_value'];
  
   	if($uri === $banner_match){
  
  		get_template_part('templates/frontpage', 'masthead-alt');
  			$match = 1;
   		}
   	}
   	if($match !== 1) {
  
  		get_template_part('templates/frontpage', 'masthead');
     		}
      
   ?>
