You're putting HTML in a PHP block, so your web server is trying to parse the HTML as PHP - and fails, so you get an error back.

All you have to do is not enclose it in <?php ... ?>, and the HTML will show nicely. You only have to use <?php ... ?> when you have actual PHP code to place within it.

echo the html code...

<?php
echo '<form action="form1.php"  method="POST">
    username <input type="text" name="username"><br />
    password <input type="password" name="password"><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submitbutt" value="Login!"><br />
</form>';
?>

Or use only html

<?php #your php code ?>
<form action="form1.php"  method="POST">
    username <input type="text" name="username"><br />
    password <input type="password" name="password"><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submitbutt" value="Login!"><br />
</form>
<?php #your php code ?>
