You've got double quotes inside a string using double quotes as an enclosure. I'd find a better tutorial, to be honest :-O — Ben Hillier, Jun 08 '20 at 09:27

Your quotes conflict with each other. If you use double quotes in your string, you should either use single quotes as the delimiters, or use double quotes but escape all other double quotes in your string. So, this should work:

<?php
  echo "<h1>PHP is Fun!</h1>";
  echo '
    <table style="border: 1px solid black;">
      <tr>
        <th>
          <h2> Hello world! </h2>
        </th>
      </tr>
    </table>
    <br>';
?>
