Without changing the variables, create a SINGLE conditional statement around the echo command that checks:
That a $username is set. The users $role is NOT admin
The answer I have provided is the following but does not validate
<?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 administrator."; }
Could anyone give some help?
Thank you in advance Stergios
<?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 administrator.";
}

<?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 administrator.";
}
