echo ("

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
 
echo (" <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css">

the first dquote in the style declaration ends the text in the echo statement, then there is no semicolon, variable, dot, or other structure php understands so there is an error
replace the dquotes in <style type="text/css"> with single quotes or escape them.
and check the rest of the script <p class="style1" .
These would show up (like above) if you had an editor with syntax highlighting, as do unclosed braces <div>without</div> etc
i use a notepad replacement(google) for that reason

Failure is not an option It's included free
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved
