Hi Cristian,

The challenge asking us to create a single 'if' statement that uses a logical operator (like in the previous video) to check 2 conditions;

  1. Is the $username variable set? AND(&&)
  2. Is the $role NOT equal to (!=) 'admin'

If the condition is true, then echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator." 

<?php
if ( isset($username) && $role != "admin" ) {
  echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior.";
} else {
  echo "The statement evaluates to false";
}

Hope this helps.
