ajax get request causes internal server error of 500

Question

i have a php script that returns the front end, local this works fine, when i upload it to a server it won't work anymore. does anyone know a fix or finds a problem? no it isn't database related.

i also tried another server, so i don't think it server related.

ajax get request

 $(document).ready(function () {
    var carid;
    var tabid;
    $(".button-collapse").sideNav()
    $('.modal').modal();
    $.ajax({
        method: 'get',
        url: 'api.php',
        dataType: 'html',
        contentType: 'application/json',
        data: {
            action: 'getmedisch'
        }
    }).done(function (data) {

receiving php script:

switch ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
  case'GET':
    $action = $_GET['action'];
    switch ($action) {
        case 'getmedisch':
            $content = new Content();
            $data = $content->get_content('medisch');
            $value = ' <div  class="col s3">

            foreach ($data as $insert) {
                if($insert["online"]){$online= 'green online" ><i class="material-icons">visibility</i>';
