18,416 PointsI do not see the problem with my code
In the code provided, there is an if statement that displays a message IF the user role is not equal to "admin". We want to display separate messages based on the role of the logged in user. First we're going to add a message for our admin and keep the current message as the default. Change the if statement to a switch statement, keeping the current message as the default. Add a check for the role of "admin" and display the following message: As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.
I can't see what I am doing wrong?
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'subscriber';
}
//change to switch statement
if ($role != 'admin') {
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
} else { switch ($role) { case admin: echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post."; break; default: echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator."; break; } }

Your code still has the if statement, checking if $role is admin. Check out the syntax here: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php
for how to structure this switch statement so it will pass you.
