Is something wrong with the task?

switch ($role == 'admin') { 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."; break; }

what am i doing wrong here?

I get the error "Bummer, I do not see the correct output for "editor",did you leave off a "break"? but i left a break!

switch.php
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
    $role = 'subscriber';
}

//change to switch statement
switch ($role == 'admin') {
  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.";
    break;
}
?>

You switch argument is wrong.

do it this way

switch ($role) is right
switch ($role == 'admin') is wrong
