ACF & Wordpress Media Library-CodePudding

I've got an ACF 'options page' with a placeholder image within, to fall back to if a client removes the image from the post/page by mistake. And I'm using the following code to handle this situation happening.

<?php
// Variables
$banner_image = get_field('banner_image');   
$fallback_banner_image = get_field('fallback_image', 'options');
?>

<?php if ( $banner_image ): { ?>

<img  src="<?php echo esc_url( $banner_image_src[0] ); ?>" srcset="<?php echo esc_attr( $banner_image_srcset ); ?>" sizes="100vw" alt="<?php echo $banner_image_alt_text ?>">

<?php } elseif ( empty( $banner_image ) ): { ?>
   
<img  src="<?php echo esc_url( $fallback_banner_image_src[0] ); ?>" srcset="<?php echo esc_attr( $fallback_banner_image_srcset ); ?>" sizes="100vw" alt="<?php echo $fallback_banner_image_alt_text ?>">

<?php } endif; ?>

This works fine once pages or posts are saved.

However

The issue I have is if the page/post has been previously saved with an image and then a user deletes the image from the Media Library directly, the field doesnt become 'empty' so the content just disappears, rather than falling back to the placeholder image that I would like it to.

Any advice on how to handle images directly removed from the Media Library?

Thanks.

You can use attachment_url_to_postid. Using this function you can get post id from image url. if post id is not exists , user deleted the attachment before. so based on the result of this function you can actually test of attachment is deleted or not and use placeholder instead.

I've solved this issue using onerror for anyone with similar concerns.

I placed a folder, with a simple light grey placeholder image in it, in the root of my theme directory, so it can never be deleted by a user.

Then added the following to the end of my image tag. Seems to work perfectly when ever the media library images are removed by mistake.

<img src="<?php echo esc_url( $image_src[0] ); ?>" srcset="<?php echo esc_attr( $image_srcset ); ?>" sizes="(min-width: 1050px) 25vw, (min-width: 750px) 33.333vw, (min-width: 500px) 50vw, 100vw" alt="<?php echo $image_alt_text ?>" one rror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://www.domain-name.co.uk/fallback-folder/missing-placeholder-img.jpg';">
