its clear that u have to use "$" in it so it will be like this

<form name="input" method="get"  action="abc.aspx" >
<fieldset>
<legend>Order Information</legend>
Quanties of Saws: <input type="text" id="quantitiesofsaws" /><br>
Quantities of Hoes: <input type="text" id="quantitiesofhoes"/><br>
Quantities of Planers: <input type="text" id="quantitiesofplaners"/><br>
First Name: <input type="text" id="firstname"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" id="lastname"><br>
Shipping Address: <input type="text" id="shippingaddress"><br>
City: <input type="text" id="city"><br>
State: 
<?php
 
 $db=pg_connect("dbname=webdev");
 $query = "select state_abbr, state_name";
 $query .= " from state";
 $query .= " order by state_name;";
 $dbResult = pg_query($query);
 if (!$dbResult)
  { 
     die("Database error...");
  }
 $num = pg_num_rows($dbResult);
 if ($num == 0) 
  {
      echo 'Database Query Retrieved Nothing!';
  }
 $i = 0;
 while ($i < $num) 
 {
     $abb = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, 'state_abbr');
     $state = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, 'state_name');
     echo "<select name='state'>";
     echo "<option value={$abb}>{$state}</option>";    
     $i++;             //  <--- This is line 71
 }
 echo "</select>";

?>

<table border=1 cellpadding=5px cellspacing=3px>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>

<?php
  
  $db=pg_connect("dbname=webdev");
  $query = "select hdw_part_no, hdw_name, hdw_price,hdw_weight";
  $query .= " from hardware_t";
  $query .= " order by hdw_name;";
  $dbResult = pg_query($query);
  if (!$dbResult) { 
    die("Database error...");
  }
  $num = pg_num_rows($dbResult);
  if ($num == 0) {
    echo '<tr><td colspan="4">';
    echo 'Database Query Retrieved Nothing!</td></tr>';
  }
  $i = 0;
  while ($i < $num)
  {
    $name = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, 'hdw_name');
    $price = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, hdw_price);
    $weight = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, hdw_weight);	
    echo "<tr><td><b>$name</b></td><td>$price</td><td>$weight</td>";
    echo "<td><input type="text" class="qty"/></td></tr>";           <--THIS IS LINE 36 IN MY PROGRAM.

 while ($i < $num) 
 {
 	$abb = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, 'state_abbr');
 	$state = pg_Result($dbResult, $i, 'state_name');
 	
 	echo "<option value={$abb}>{$state}</option>";

</html>

And im receiving this error :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/zglass/public_html/l8p1.php on line 36
Can you help clarify please, im sure im not missing a "," or ';'.

You need to escape your quotes, or wrap the line in single quotes.

Example:

//escape the quotes
echo "<td><input type=\"text\" class=\"qty\"/></td></tr>"; 

//wrap in single quotes
echo '<td><input type="text" class="qty"/></td></tr>';
