Try to escape string like this

Code: Select all

Echo "<p align=\"center\">Systems</p>";

Or you could use

Code: Select all

echo '<p align="center">Systems</p>';
With single quotes cannot use \n or variables inside, you have to use concatenation but can make things more readable.

Might be worth noting that you should probably use the <caption> Html Tag within a table rather than a <p> tag. Makes it easier to deal with CSS.
