PHP PHP Arrays and Control Structures PHP Conditionals Operators

How do I correctly accomplish this task?

I am in the PHP Arrays and Control Structures section, and I am trying to correctly execute the task 1 of 1:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/php-arrays-and-control-structures/php-conditionals/operators-2

Granted, I am having troubles with the system when pressing the "Check Work" button (I sent an email to help@teamtreehouse.com), but would like to see how this is accomplished,

index.php 
<?php
$username = 'sketchings';
//Available roles: author, editor, admin
$role = 'editor';

//add conditional statement
if ($username) {
  elseif ($role != 'admin') {
            echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
    ]
}

I figured this out this morning:

if ($username && $role != 'admin') { echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator."; }

Thank you James Jones for helping out as well.

<?php $username = 'sketchings'; //Available roles: author, editor, admin $role = 'editor';

//add conditional statement if(isset($username)){ echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator."; }

That's how much I could do on my phone, but observing your code you need to take the angle bracket kit below the echo an replace with } otherwise it won't won't :)
