2,138 PointsHaving problem with switch challenge
I know my code is correct, but it's saying that the default isn't there, but it is and it is correct. Unless I'm really missing something
My code: <?php //Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber if (!isset($role)) { $role = 'subscriber'; }
//change to switch statement $role = 'admin'; switch ($role) { case 'admin': echo "As admin, you can edit, or delete any 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
$role = 'admin';
switch ($role) {
case 'admin':
echo "As admin, you can edit, or delete any post.";
break;
default:
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
break;
}

//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'subscriber';
}
//change to switch statement
$role = 'admin'; // why is this needed
switch ($role) {
case 'admin':
echo "As admin, you can edit, or delete any post."; // there are words missing in this statement.
break;
default:
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
break;// do you need a break, after the last statement, which is generally the default statement.
}

Treehouse Project ReviewerI agree with Antonio, if you correct your first echo statement (which is missing words) and also remove the part that says $role = 'admin'
your code will work
