I've trying to use the PHP option of the Regular Labs Advanced Module Manager to control when a specific module displays.
I basically just need to run some php code and return true if a field has had some data entered.
The field being checked is a Query Drop Down (Single Select) type.
And I'm still not able to just come up with the proper syntax to test in a php IF to see if cb_myfield is empty (i.e. doesn't have anything selected yet).
Can you tell me the proper way to get the values (i.e. getMyUserDataInstance or getMyInstance) and then what syntax to actually get the contents of that field?

You don't need getFields API. You just need the CB user object so you can test against its raw stored values. None of this will work if CB API isn't loaded on the page you're trying to execute it on though. See the below regarding using a CB user object.

For those reading this later and want to use Advanced Module Manager and restrict the display of a module based on a CB field here what you put in the Custom PHP area of the Assignments tab:
You can modify the 'return' test. In this example, it just tests for any entry with a value of 0. You could change that to whatever test you want that returns TRUE to display the module, FALSE to hide the module.
