991 PointsError for PHP Arrays and Control Structures task
I wrote this code for the challenge but it showed an error to me. Error=" Bummer! Use the negation operator to check that $role is NOT EQUAL to "admin". Preview ";
<?php
$username = 'sketchings'; //Available roles: author, editor, admin $role = 'editor';
//add conditional statement if($username && $role!="admin"){
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior.";
}; ?>
can you help me?

991 PointsI cleaned all comments but the error is still there.
<?php $username = 'sketchings'; $role = 'editor'; if($username && $role!="admin"){ echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior."; }; ?>

<?php
$username = 'sketchings'; //Available roles: author, editor, admin $role = 'editor';
if($username && $role!="admin"){ //add conditional statement
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior.";
}
?>
EDIT: Apparently you also had a semi-colon (;) after the closing bracket of your if - remove it and you're set.
