I can't seem to find which part of this code is wrong. After selecting "submit" button the browser should display the date, no. of items, total amount accumulated and other details but instead along the form it displays the rest of the code. Can anyone help me?

<<pre lang="xml">?
$htmltag="<html>
<body>
<form method='post' action='activity.php'>
<table>
<tr>
<td bgcolor='gray'>Item</td>
<td bgcolor='gray'>Quantity</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tires</td>
<td><input type='text' name='value1'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oil</td>
<td><input type='text' name='value2'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Spark Plugs</td>
<td><input type='text' name='value3'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th colspan=2><input type='submit' value='SUBMIT ORDER' name='submit1'>
<select name='menu'>
        <option selected>I'm A Regular Customer</option>
        <option>TV Advertising</option>
        <option>Phone Directory</option>
        <option>Word of Mouth</option>
    </select>
</th>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>";
if ($_POST['submit1'])
{
echo "<font size='12' font face = 'Arial'>BOBS AUTO PARTS</font>";
echo "<br><font size='10' font face = 'Arial'>Order Results</font>";
echo "<br><br>";
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>Order Processed at ";
echo "<br><br>";
$tire = $_POST['value1'];
$oil = $_POST['value2'];
$spark = $_POST['value3'];
$itemsum = $tire+$oil+$spark;
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>".$tire." tire";
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>".$oil." oil";
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>".$spark." spark plugs";
$prodtire = $tire*2;
$prodoil = $oil*4;
$prodspark = $spark*6;
$prodsum = $prodtire+$prodoil+$prodspark;
$deduction = $prodsum*0.10;
$total = $prodsum-$deduction;
$date1=time();
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>Your Order is as follows: ".$date1;
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>Items Ordered  ".$itemsum;
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>Sub Total: $".$prodsum;
echo "<br><font face = 'Arial'>Total: $".$total;
$combobox1 = $_POST['menu'];
echo "<br><br>".$combobox1;
} else
{
echo $htmltag;
}

Is it as simple as no closing double quote on the second line?

What closing quote on the 2nd line? Sorry, I'm not that good with PHP yet.

This line: $htmltag="<html>
Edit: My bad, that's not the problem.

hehe.. yeah.. it's got a closing " right after the </html> tag.. Where could be the problem then?
