<center><form action='access.php'> method='get'> should be <center><form action='access.php' method='get'> and <br><input type='submit'</form></center>"; should be <br><input type='submit'></form></center>"; Remember to put your closing tags appropriately. Don't get frustrated and enjoy yourself!

I have never heard that echoing in a function is bad practice. I might be wrong though. Anyway I feel that that should depend on your application functionality and how lazy you are:D
