Echo problems

Another newbie in trouble.

I have a form that outputs a table with images. The table echo works but it does not echo the links for the images or the inputed information.

This is what I have: (You can also try it out)

<? echo " <table width=\"350\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" background=\"<? echo $background; ?>\"> <tr> <td width=\"359\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"><table width=\"350\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tr> <td width=\"218\" height=\"209\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"> <table width=\"96\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"> <tr> <td width=\"92\" height=\"73\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"> </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td height=\"93\"><table width=\"93\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"> <tr> <td width=\"93\" height=\"20\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><? echo $name; ?></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td height=\"20\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><? echo $age_value; ?></font>=/td> </tr> <tr> <td height=\"20\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><? echo $sex; ?></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td height=\"20\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><? echo $sector; ?></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td height=\"20\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><? echo $date; ?> </td> </tr> </table>=/td> </tr> </table>=/td> <td width=\"132\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><table width=\"100%\" height=\"125\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"> <tr> <td width=\"89\" height=\"43\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"> </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td height=\"68\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img name=\"pic\" src=\"<? echo $photo; ?>\" width=\"64\" border=\"5\" height=\"68\" alt=\"\"></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> " ?>

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
