Why is this PHP switch acting up

I'm working on this assignment where we need to create a little web app to have someone order what they want on a sandwich, and then put it in simpler terms for whoever gets the order to make the sandwich.

I've asked a couple questions about this already, but I hit one final roadblock, have been trouble shooting it for an hour, and can't figure out what's wrong. Everything works if I just comment out the cheesetype switch in the PHP, but as soon as I reintroduce it, I get a server error. I more than triple checked all the syntax, but as soon as that switch shows up things get wonky. What did I do wrong?

<!DOCTYPE html>

<form name="sandwichform" method="post" action="sandwichmaker.php">
