This is my code, i cannot see anything wrong with it!! <?php //Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber if (!isset($role)) { $role = 'subscriber'; }
//change to switch statement
//if ($role != 'admin')
switch ($role) {
case 'admin':
echo 'As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.';
break;
case 'editor':
echo "As and editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts.";
break;
case 'author':
echo "As an author, you can add, edit, or delete your own post.";
break;
default:
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
break;
}
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'subscriber';
}
//change to switch statement
//if ($role != 'admin')
switch ($role) {
case 'admin':
echo 'As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.';
break;
case 'editor':
echo "As and 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 "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
break;
}

your code is correct with a spelling mistakes that is breaking your code, look at the value you echo for case "editor", it should be "As an" not "As and"
Treehouse's picky compiler :) the below passes
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'subscriber';
}
//change to switch statement
switch ($role) {
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":
echo "As an author, you can add, edit, or delete your own post.";
break;
default:
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
}
Good Luck
