Either escape the " in the middle or enclose in single quotes. Try this:

 

echo '<form action="finish.php" method="post">';
echo 'STD: <input type="text" name="std" />';
echo 'DIVISION:<input type="text" name="division" />';
for($i=1;$i<=$number;$i++)
   { echo 'enter'.$i.' th subject =: <input type="text" name="'.$i.'std" />';
   }
echo '<input type="submit" />';

 

Not sure what the line in conditionals is meant to do...

btw, welcome to the site!

 

You can escape like this:

echo "<form action=\"finish.php\" method=\"post\">";
