Most of your code doesn't need to be echoed out. PHP shouldn't be used to print out large amounts of HTML, its hard to read and prone to parsing errors like you are getting.

To prevent getting the error in the furture, you need to escape your " in a string, although for string values you really should be using literals ie '.
