You are going to kick yourself when I tell you...

The output will have nested <p> tags because the string has them and the
HTML has too...

Can I also point out that repeating <br> is non-standard HTML because it
should be rendered as one line break, though some browsers will likely
render it as more.

Also, using double quotes (") rather than single ones ('), without the
need for any variable substitution is a waste of CPU cycles.

Finally, alternating HTML and PHP like that is fine for a tiny file, but
in a real program you are going to write some pretty hideous code if you
go down that way.

Feel free to ignore me.
