# Need Code to Alter Comments

 * I know that this code lets me alter the way my comment looks as opposed to others:
 * <?php
    $isByAuthor = false; if($comment->comment_author_email == ‘me@myemail.
   com’) { $isByAuthor = true; } ?>
 * What I’m wondering is…
 * How can I alter that code to apply to everyone EXCEPT a certain e-mail?
 * I assume it would mean altering this part of the code:
 * if($comment->comment_author_email == ‘me@myemail.com’)
 * Anyone know how to accomplish this?
 * Thanks.

 * `if( !($comment->comment_author_email == 'me@myemail.com') ) {`
 * ! = NOT in PHP lingo. So you’re saying _if comment author’s email is NOT [me@myemail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-code-to-alter-comments/me@myemail.com?output_format=md)_,
   do the following. This works the same:
 * `if($comment->comment_author_email != 'me@myemail.com') {`

 * That works. Thank you so much, I’ve been messing with the code all night trying
   to figure this out.
 * Appreciate it 🙂
