Wow i realy need the translation to this code

Question

i was trying to interpret to it like this :
$username = "Treehouse";(it means $username=treehouse)
if ($username) { (why does this line here ?to confuse?)
    if ($username != "Treehouse") {   my interpret= (if $username is not treehouse )
        echo "Hello $username"; my interpret=( hello treehouse )
    }
} else {
    echo "You must be logged in"; my interpret (just "you must log in" without username)
}  if some one can interpret it for me it will help me a lot . regards omer

PHP
$username = "Treehouse"; 
if ($username) {  //if the $username holds any value; besides values that are considered equal to false (0, false, undefined) then continue to next if statement
    if ($username != "Treehouse") { //if the value stored in $username is anything besides "Treehouse" then echo
        echo "Hello $username";
    }
} else { //if $username returns false then
    echo "You must be logged in";
}

In this particular challenge, there is no condition for when $username equals "Treehouse". The first condition checks to see if $username exists (if it returns true). If it does, then it checks to see if the $username is anything besides "Treehouse". If there was an else there, that would execute some code if $username was "Treehouse". The final else is to be ran if the first if condition is false; meaning $username doesn't hold anything
