well start off trying to use divs to place your information

example

<div id="main_content">
     <div id="center" style="align:center"><?=echo "<p align='center'>[<a href='profile.php' target='mFrame'>Profile</a>]  ";?></div>     
     <div id="center" style="align:center"><?=echo "<p align='center'>[<a href='profile.php' target='mFrame'>Profile</a>]  ";?></div>
     <div id="center" style="align:center"><?=echo "[<a href='profile.php' target='mFrame'>Add Friends</a>]      ";?></div>
     <div id="right_side" style="float:right"><?=echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']. "[<a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>]";?></div>
</div>

</div>

 

You cannot have multiple divs all with the same id.

It's invalid code.

 

It's also divitis - there is no reason for that many divs at all. One div wrapping all of those <p> tags is enough. If each <p> tag needs to be styled separately, it can be given it's own class.

 

And finally, making an ID or class name be a description of the styling is not a good practice, as at some point in the future, the styling may change. For example, the three p tags that are left aligned may need to be switched to a right alignment at some time, at which point having an ID or class named 'left' doesn't make a lot of sense.
