Display and check for multiple key in php echo - php

Question

I am trying to output a key value from JSON data and want to check for multiple keys.
I want to display the title of a movie and or tv show.
if($channel=="multi" AND !empty($movies)){
foreach ($movies as $movie) {
if(!empty($movie['poster_path'])){
echo '<div class="mov">
<a href="'.$movie['media_type'].'/'.$movie['id'].'">
<img src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185'.$movie['poster_path'].'">
<h2 class="title">'.$movie['title'].'</h2>
</a>
</div>';
}
}
}
whereas <h2 class="title">'.$movie['title'].'</h2> also needs to check for <h2 class="title">'.$movie['name'].'</h2>
How can I check for both 'title' and 'name' in the same go?
I am pretty new to all this and learning on the go. So please correct me as well if there are any mistakes in my coding!

If you're trying to get $movie['title'] or $movie['name'] (because you're unsure what the variable will be called) you can use an if statement. (This is not a pretty way of writing it -- but it is the clearest way).
if($channel=="multi" AND !empty($movies)){
foreach ($movies as $movie) {
if(!empty($movie['poster_path'])){
echo '<div class="mov">
<a href="'.$movie['media_type'].'/'.$movie['id'].'">
<img src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185'.$movie['poster_path'].'">
<h2 class="title">';
//AN IF STATEMENT TO CHOOSE EITHER TITLE OR MOVIE
if(!empty($movie['title']) {
echo $movie['title'];
} else {
echo $movie['name'];
}
echo .'</h2>
</a>
</div>';
}
}
}
Alternatively, you could also make $movie['title'] equal to $movie['name'] if it is not blank.
if($channel=="multi" AND !empty($movies)){
foreach ($movies as $movie) {
if(!empty($movie['poster_path'])){
// MAKE MOVIE TITLE = MOVIE NAME IF IT IS NOT BLANK
if(!empty($movie['name'])){
$movie['title'] = $movie['name'];
}
echo '<div class="mov">
<a href="'.$movie['media_type'].'/'.$movie['id'].'">
<img src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185'.$movie['poster_path'].'">
<h2 class="title">'.
$movie['title'].
'</h2>
</a>
</div>';
}
}
}
There are usually many ways to solve a problem. Think through the logic. If this than that. If not this, than that instead.
