How can the PHP code be modified to improve readability and maintainability?

Issue: The PHP code lacks proper indentation and comments, making it difficult to read and maintain. To improve readability and maintainability, the code should be properly indented and commented to clearly explain the purpose of each section. 

// Original code without proper indentation and comments
<?php
$number=5;
if($number>0){
echo "The number is positive.";
}else{
echo "The number is negative.";
}
?>

// Modified code with proper indentation and comments
<?php
$number = 5;

// Check if the number is positive or negative
if ($number > 0) {
    echo "The number is positive.";
} else {
    echo "The number is negative.";
}
?>
