print($start. "multiplied by"  .$times. "=" .$answer.) ;

The dot after $answer is the problem

Take a look at the last few characters on line 16, you hae an extra period in there.

Periods are used to join strings, as there is nothing following the final value in the print() statement, you do not need a trailing period.

You can use the newline character in PHP, or you can replace that period you removed and add the tag:

print($start . "multiplied by" . $times . "=" . $answer . "<br />") ;

Providing you keep an eye on your quotes and you make sure you escape them properly, you can add any HTML tak into PHP code within quotes.

The parse error is because of the +'s, .'s are used for concatenation in PHP (joining strings together)

$TeacherInterrupts = true;
$counter = 1;
while ($counter < 11) {
  print(" counter = " . $counter . "<BR>");
  if ($TeacherInterrupts == true) break;
  $counter++;
}
