Putting a form field inside a table
<p>I need some help.  </p>

<p>I am getting the error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&lt;' in:</p>

<p>I wanting to have a text field appear to the right of data output from MYSQL which is just a first and last name.  The data from the DB displays great right up until I put in the code for the text field inside the while loop and then I get the error you see above.  I am not sure it there is a syntax error or if my code structure is wrong, could someone offer some ideas please?</p>

<pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;form action="pts_editing.php" method="post"&gt;
&lt;table border="1"&gt;

&lt;?php

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","myusername","mypassword","srrdb");                         
if (mysqli_connect_errno())                         
{
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * From students");                  

$results variable
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))                                   
{
    echo "&lt;tr&gt;"."&lt;td&gt;".$row['fname']."&amp;nbsp".$row['lname']."&lt;/td&gt;"."&lt;td&gt;".
                &lt;input type="text" name="dpoints"&gt;."&lt;/td&gt;"."&lt;/tr&gt;";     
}

mysqli_close($con);

?&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>
