what's wrong with my code? it's giving me the right output but I still get a Bummer!!

It keeps saying "make sure you change the second if statement to a switch statement!

switch.php
<?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.";
}*/

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;



}

Hi Diaa,

You're code is actually correct, but for some weird reason, the Challenge does not like that commented out code being there? Strange?!?

If you just delete the code you commented out, the Task does pass.

Nice job! :) :dizzy:
