What im doing wrong?

Im getting "Bummer! I do not see the correct output for editors. Did you leave off a "break"?"

Im missing break; code part or somthing else?

switch.php 
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
    $role = 'subscriber';
}

//change to switch statement
switch ($role != 'admin') {

  case 'admin':
      echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
    break;

  case 'editor':
      echo "As an editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts.";
    break;

  case 'author':
      echo "As an author, you can add, edit, or delete your own post.";
    break;

  default:
      echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";
    break;

}

Just a few things that need to be moved around:

  1. You want the switch statement to be updated so it only switches based on the $role variable.
  2. When $role is equal to 'admin', the following message should be echo'd: "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post"
  3. When there is no matching role (the default case), the message should be "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator."
