Your switch statement is still referring to 'subscriber'. Plus, you have your echoes transposed. It should be

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;
