Hi, I'm confused what I need to do here.
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'subscriber';
}
//change to switch statement
switch ($role) {
case (!="admin") :
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
case "admin" :
echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";
default :
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
}

//original
case (!="admin") :
//Fixed
case !"admin":
There are more errors in the code but this will get you to the next error.
Remember to break; the switch.
