    Either escape the double quotes or change them to single quotes. `echo "hello \" <-";` or `echo "hello ' <-";` – Charlotte Dunois Aug 24 '16 at 11:44

Your Code 

Print("<td class="right">$test</td>\n");

Updated Code 

Print("<td class='right'>$test</td>\n"); // double quotes changed to single quotes

Also Use error reporting on top of your page to view what errors are ocouring 

// should only be used on development servers not on production servers
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

    Note: Errors should only be displayed on development servers, **not** on production servers. On production servers all errors should be **logged**. – Charlotte Dunois Aug 24 '16 at 11:46

Just for reference XHTML™ 1.0 The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition) states that "Attribute values must always be quoted" - even if they are numeric, however despite the fact that the examples show them enclosed in double quotes it is perfectly acceptable to use either double-quotes or single-quotes (the example there is just an example - it's not part of the specification) and most people do use double-quotes even though the standard says you can use either.

So, you don't really have to change them to single-quotes, just put backslashes in front of them:

Print("<td class=\"right\">$test</td>\n");

...which 'escapes' them as Charlotte says so that PHP doesn't get to the quotes at the start of "right" and think that's the end of the string.
