Treehouse StaffWhew! The check work engine was SUPER picky on this challenge!
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; // this was your only true mistake - you are missing this break
case 'editor': // work check engine fails if no space between case and 'editor'
echo 'As an editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts.';
break;
case 'author' // work check engine fails if no space between case and 'author'
echo 'As an author, you can add, edit, or delete your own post.';
break; // was buggy without this break even though last case statement should not require
}

2,374 Pointssolved, but add semicolons on the author case, and be aware to do not space the string and semicolons. Examples
case "string": WORKING - case "string" : NOT WORKING
