Answer 1

The problem in your code are the quotes.

This character:

“

Is not recognised as a quotation in PHP, you need to use

'

Or

"

I have also...

• Fixed a couple of HTML errors, with missing closing tags or bad nesting

• Removed the tables being used for layout
• Moved the inline styles into the stylesheet
