Hello, what does mean !'admin'? It is not same as != 'admin'. What about default? I recommend you use strict equality !== and ===.

You can do something like this:

$food = 'pizza';

switch ($food) {
    case ($food !== 'chicken'):
         echo 'I am not chicken';
         break;
    default:
         echo 'I am pizza';
}
