(php) echo in echo include not work

Question

I have a file in new_pm.php contains code like this:

<?php include 'box_right.php';?>

then, in the box_right.php contains code like this:

<?php
echo "<div class="box_right">
        <a href="list_pm.php">Pesan(<?php echo $nb_new_pm; ?>)</a> - <a href="profile.php?id=<?php echo $_SESSION['userid']; ?>"><?php echo htmlentities($_SESSION['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></a> (<a href="logout.php">Logout</a>)
    </div>";
?>

However, a warning like this:

Parse error: syntax error ....

How do I resolve this?

edit:

<?php
echo "<div class='box_right'>
        <a href='list_pm.php'>Pesan(<?php echo $nb_new_pm; ?>)</a> - <a href='profile.php?id=<?php echo $_SESSION['userid']; ?>'><?php echo htmlentities($_SESSION['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></a> (<a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>)
    </div>";
?>

you're already in PHP. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 12 '16 at 03:28 — Funk Forty Niner, Jan 12 '16 at 03:28
use concatenation operator instead of echo inside echo. – Saqib Amin Jan 12 '16 at 03:29 — Saqib Amin, Jan 12 '16 at 03:29

Either escape the double quotes within the string, or change the quotes around the string to single quotes.

Also remove the second set of php tags.

Replace your PHP block with this code:

<?php
echo '<div class="box_right">
        <a href="list_pm.php">Pesan(' . $nb_new_pm . ')</a> - <a href="profile.php?id=' . $_SESSION['userid'] .'">' . htmlentities($_SESSION['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . '</a> (<a href="logout.php">Logout</a>)
    </div>';
?>
