In the node.tpl file for a new project, I am unable to hide an imagefield despite it being empty. My code is almost the same as that working on another site (a D5 site, different field_name and imagecache presets)

<?php if (!$teaser): ?> 
  <?php if ($node->field_leading_photogragh): ?> <!-- display CCK field 'leading photograph' -->
    <div class="leading_photograph">
      <?php print theme('imagecache', 'leading-image', $node->field_leading_photogragh[0]['filepath']); ?> 
    </div>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

[the typo in the field name is correct].

I have tested this exact code with a non-existent CCK field in the same tpl file and nothing is displayed (as expected). With the above code, the output is

<!-- display CCK field 'leading photograph' -->
<div class="leading_photograph">
  <img src="http://example.com/files/imagecache/leading-image/" alt="" title=""  class="imagecache imagecache-leading-image" /> 
</div>

Anyone able to suggest a reason why this is happening?

[using CCK 6.x.2.2]

Like other CCK fields, the field is still there even if it's empty. Instead of just checking if it's there, you should check if the filepath is set.

<?php if ($node->field_leading_photogragh[0]['filepath']): ?>

<?php endif; ?>
