[RESOLVED] EASY question: how to do "if not"

[gopanthers]

I have this simple code that works nicely:

<?php if ( $myrow["db_field_name"] == "this value" ) { echo "sentence goes here"; } ?>

But instead of "if $X equals Y then print Z", how do I do the opposite, so that "if $X does not equal Y then print Z"? (I think I can make this a two-part statement and by putting desired echo output after an "else" statement, but I figure there must be a shorter/simpler way to just say "if not".)
