problem with my code?

I have created this to print an invoice for items sold. when i send the variables to it from the html form, i get Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ',' or ';' on line 2.
What am I doing wrong?

<?php
echo "<table border="1" width="953" id="table1">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td colspan="4">";
echo "<p align="center"><font size="5" color="#FF0000">South Bend &amp; Vicinity Electrical JATC<br></font><font size="2">56365 Peppermint Rd.<br></font></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo   "<td colspan="4">Sold To: "echo $_POST['Name']"</td>";
echo     "</tr>";
echo     "<tr>";
echo       "<td width="116">ITEM:</td>";
echo       "<td width="586">"echo $_POST['Item']"</td>";
echo       "<td width="91">PRICE</td>";
echo       "<td width="132">$ "echo $_POST['Price']"</td>";
echo    "</tr>";
echo    "</table>";
?>

since you are surrounding the text you want echo'd with " marks, you cant use "s inside without first escaping them with a . PHP thinks you are trying to close your echo when it hits the next " but then you put more text when it is looking for a , or ;

basically just change the lines from
echo "<table border="1" width="953" id="table1">";
to
echo "<table border=\"1\" width=\"953\" id=\"table1\">";

If you dont want to use all the \'s you can alternatively use single quotes ' to surround your tag properties. or since you are echoing a long string, you may want to look at here doc syntax.

Or you may also change this to:

<?php
echo "<table border=1 width=953 id=table1>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td colspan=4>";
echo "<p align=center><font size=5 color=#FF0000>South Bend & Vicinity Electrical JATC<br></font><font size=2>56365 Peppermint Rd.<br></font></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td colspan=4>Sold To: $_POST['Name']</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width=116>ITEM:</td>";
echo "<td width=586>$_POST['Item']</td>";
echo "<td width=91>PRICE</td>";
echo "<td width=132>$ $_POST['Price']</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
?>

<?php
echo "<table border=\"1\" width=\"953\" id=\"table1\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td colspan=\"4\">";
echo "<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"5\" color=\"#FF0000\">South Bend & Vicinity Electrical JATC<br></font><font size=\"2\">56365 Peppermint Rd.<br></font></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo   "<td colspan=\"4\">Sold To: ".$_POST['Name']."</td>";
echo     "</tr>";
echo     "<tr>";
echo       "<td width=\"116\">ITEM:</td>";
echo       "<td width=\"586\">".$_POST['Item']."</td>";
echo       "<td width=\"91\">PRICE</td>";
echo       "<td width=\"132\">$ ".$_POST['Price']."</td>";
echo    "</tr>";
echo    "</table>";
?>

In other words - like drew010 suggested in the first place...
