PHP error in template

[ClintN]

I am a weak PHP guy here.
I want to upgrade my Genesis Sample theme to have a template for level one pages that dynamically displays the featured image + title of the child pages.

I belive that there's something wrong with coding of my "if" statement that is throwing a critiacal error on the front end. Which is preventing me from knowing whether I have been on the right algorithm all along.

Here's the template code:

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Child GS
*
* @package Genesis Sample

*/

get_header();
?>

<?php
  $childPages = get_children( array(
    'post_parent' => get_the_ID(),
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'orderby' => array(
      'menu_order' => 'ASC',
      'title' => 'ASC'
    )
  ));

?>
//below has incorrect code

<?php
  if (sizeof($childPages))
      echo '<div class="row">'
        foreach ($childPages as $page)
          echo '<div class="col-12 col-sm-6 mb-4">'
          echo '<a href="'get_page_link($page) echo '><img src="'get_the_post_thumbnail_url($page) echo' alt="'$page  ->post_title echo 'class="img-fluid mb-2"></a>'
            echo'<h2 class="text-center"><a href="'get_page_link($page) echo'">'$page->post_title echo'</a></h2>
          </div>'
        endforeach
  endif
      echo'</div>'

?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I have been looking at it for so long my pupils are quivering LOL

Any advise on improving my coding & all solution would be greatly appreciated.

A point in the right direction :

1. No need for get_header or get_footer so remove them.

2. Add genesis(); at the end of the file. This function loads the header and footer hooks including the markup.

3. And remove the default genesis_loop and add it back with your function.

	
remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'your_loop' );
function your_loop() {
// Your Code Here
}

You can then use WP_Query to create your own custom loop or genesis hooks to add and remove default hooks for different elements including featured image, content, titles etc.
