Php code ???

Add a check for the role of "editor" and display the following message: As an editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts. Add a check for the role of "author" and display the following message: As an author, you can add, edit, or delete your own post.

Please , help me with this challenge

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."; 
}
?>

Hello, you added an admin, so you should be able to add next roles. Try to remember how you did it.

If you want, check my code:

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

//change to switch statement
switch ($role) {
  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;
  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.";
}
