Tryu something like below. I do not think you have the right calculations though. As far as I can tell the way to calculate oevrtime is not correct. But you will have to look at that. Also, do not use tags. It is depreciated, and old HTML. Have a look at CSS (www.w3c.org has many resources) and the span tag.

<?php
$hrs = $_POST['hrs'];
$hrs2 = $_POST['hrs2'];
$wage = $_POST['wage'];
$overtime = ($wage / 2)+ $wage ;

if ($hrs < 40)
  {
  $pay_wk1 = $hrs*$wage;
  $pay_wk2 = $hrs2*$wage;
  }
else
  {
  $pay_wk1 = ($hrs-40)*$overtime+40*$wage;
  $pay_wk2 = ($hrs2-40)*$overtime+40*$wage;
  }
$total = $pay_wk1 + $pay_wk2;

?>

1st weeks pay:
</font>
<font size="4" color="00ff00" >
<?php
echo $pay_wk1 ;
?>
</font>
<font size="3" color="00ff00" >
<br><br>
2nd weeks pay:
</font>
<font size="4" color="00ff00" >
<?php
echo $pay_wk2 ;
?>
