How can the conditional statement be modified to achieve the desired outcome in the PHP code?

Issue: The desired outcome is to execute a block of code if a variable is not equal to a specific value. The current conditional statement is checking for equality instead of inequality. Solution: To achieve the desired outcome, the conditional statement needs to be modified to check for inequality using the "!=" operator. Updated PHP code snippet:

$variable = 10;

if ($variable != 5) {
    // Execute this block of code if $variable is not equal to 5
    echo "Variable is not equal to 5.";
}
