In the code provided, there is an if statement that displays a message IF the user role is not equal to "admin". We want

Switch.php code error

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.";

}
?>

You're missing a comma after the word edit in your echo statement. Should be

echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";

Thanks Doug,

Looks like is should have copied and pasted instead of typing.
