PHP Array and Control structures. Challenge task 2 of 2. code is not parsing however everthing seems to be okay on code.

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

//change to switch statement
if ($role != 'admin') {
    echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
}else{
    switch($role){
        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:

You need to use switch statement instead of second if:

<?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;
  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.';
}
