Add a check for the role of "editor" and display the following message: not getting output for task 2

showing message that task 1 is no longer parsing

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

//change to switch statement
switch($role){
  default:
  echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
        break;
  case "admin":
        echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";
        break;
  case "editor":
        echo "As an editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts.";
        break;
  case "author":
