Why do I get a 500 HTTP error when I try to preview this workspace?

https://w.trhou.se/nxeqnuoot2

For some reason I keep on getting a 500 error when trying to preview the project in the browser. I have no idea why. I believe there is nothing broken in the code.

Any help would be great, thanks.

In your functions.php file you are missing an end quote on line 17:

 . ' JOIN projects ON tasks.project_id = projects.project_id';

and end quote after "Error!: on line 35

echo "Error!:" . $e->getMessage() . "<br>";

When correct you can see the difference in the syntax coloring.

Thanks, I fixed these but I still get a 500 error. Also I think if those typos were the reason for the error I would just see an error message in the page rather than an HTTP error.
