Unknown error on page. How to find out?

I’ve basically added this to that single-portfolio.php file:

<?php 
				// DYNAMIC CONTENT
              echo "<div style='float:left; border:1px solid #E1E1E1; margin-right:5%; margin-bottom:20px;'>";
			  	if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
              the_post_thumbnail( );
              } 
			  
				the_title( '</div><h3>', '</h3><p>' ); 
			   
				echo strip_tags (
				get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), 'customers_entries' )
				);
				$customers_website = simple_fields_get_post_value(get_the_id(), array(3, 1), true);
				echo "</p><p><a href='$customers_website' target='_blank'>$customers_website</a></p>";
				?>

This is supposed to make sure that the logo (featured image), the title and a custom field of that specific page are automatically shown on the page in a specific way. If I delete that piece of code, the page is back to normal (empty content though).

What I’m trying to achieve is to have a few elements of the portfolio page to be shown, then see all of the page content (which doesn’t seem to load now) and then the footer etc.

The strange thing is, the “Good link” has the exact same piece of code and there’s no error there.

Because of the previous part:

echo "<div style='float:left; border:1px solid #E1E1E1; margin-right:5%; margin-bottom:20px;'>";
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail( );
} 

the_post_thumbnail is put in between a div. Atm the div has inline styling, but that’s just temporary. PHP is definitely not my specialty. That piece of code is only 10 rules or so and there is already some error. I’ve just checked the log and even on the “good link” there is an error. Guess I’ll have to find a better way to achieve this.

I can look on the internet, BUT my new question depends on the theme, so I’ll ask that here. Maybe better in a new topic?

Thank you so much Josue! Found the culprit and fixed it.

Mind letting me know what you used to find it so I may do this myself if it ever happens again?
