2,864 PointsI had no idea what I did wrong.
it said that it couldn't see a case for admin
<?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.";
}
?>

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsYou do structure your code like this, right?
<?php
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.";
break;
}
?>

2,864 PointsI passed the first task with your answer. Thank you. But when I go to second task it is to add cases for editor and author, I did and still had the same problem. Now it say it didn't see editor case... This is my code <?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.";
break;
}
?>

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsTry remove the space between " and : in this line: case "editor" :.
You also got a space you might want to remove between " and ; in this line: echo "As an editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts." ;

2,864 PointsOkay , I now figured it out already. I was really really upset with it. Like we learn many ways to code for just a result but we have to do restrict code for this challenge. Unfortunately, they didn't give us the spacial requirement. And this this the code that works with this challenge.
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.";
break;
}
