Output problem

I don't see what's is the problem

switch.php 
<?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;
  default: echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
}

It's a small fix by having no space beside 'admin' and the colon:

<?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;
  default: 
    echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
}
