Hi Antonio,

This is a very simple challenge in many respects as the Switch statement and it's keywords has been provided for you. You just need to add to it.

So you have to add 2 more "checks" which are simply new "cases" in your Switch statement. Pay attention to what strngs you need to add and for which case. You'll need to match the strings exactly to pass the challenge.

<?php
case 'role': 
                 //code goes here
                  echo "strong";
                  break;

So each new case goes inside the Switch statement as it's own code block but before the final default: case. Don't forget to add the break keyword after each case. Good luck!
