Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/index.php on line 144

here is the code...:

$query = "SELECT * FROM site_entries ORDER BY date_entered DESC";

if ($r = mysql_query($query)){

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)){
              print "<TD ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=TOP><TABLE><TR><br>
                     <TD HEIGHT=14 WIDTH=1 BGCOLOR=CYAN></TD></TR></TABLE></TD>
                     <TD STYLE="padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 8px">

                     <br>
                     <span style="background-color: darkred; color: white; border: 1px dashed red; font-weight: bold; font-size: 80%; padding: 0 0.5ex 0 0.5ex">NEW</span>{$row['title']} <br><br><FONT FACE="Lucida Console, Courier New, Fixed" SIZE=1 color="red">{$row['entry']}</font></FONT></TD></TR><TR> ";

}

You are using double quotes for both PHP and HTML string delimiters, so the PHP interpreter thinks you are closing the PHP string when you start an HTML attribute value. Either change the PHP quotes to single quotes, or escape the HTML one with a backslash.

Escape your double quotes like:

$query = "SELECT * FROM site_entries ORDER BY date_entered DESC";

if ($r = mysql_query($query)){

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)){
              print "<TD ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=TOP><TABLE><TR><br>
                     <TD HEIGHT=14 WIDTH=1 BGCOLOR=CYAN></TD></TR></TABLE></TD>
                     <TD STYLE=\"padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 8px\">

                     <P ALIGN=justify><FONT FACE=\"Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial\" SIZE=2 COLOR=\"#90C0FF\">
                     <br>
                     <span style=\"background-color: darkred; color: white; border: 1px dashed red; font-weight: bold; font-size: 80&#37;; padding: 0 0.5ex 0 0.5ex\">NEW</span>{$row['title']} <br><br><FONT FACE=\"Lucida Console, Courier New, Fixed\" SIZE=1 color=\"red\">{$row['entry']}</font></FONT></TD></TR><TR> ";

}
