if (mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mamo12121') && mysql_select_db("project")){
	$select = mysql_query("SELECT title, time, question FROM ask ORDER BY time");
	if (mysql_num_rows($select) == 0) {
		echo "No Entries Has been found";
	} else {
		while ($entries = mysql_fetch_assoc($select)) {
			$entries_time  = date('D:M:Y @h:i:s', $entries['time']);
			$entries_title = $entries['title'];
			echo '<br >' . $entries_time . '&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp' . ?> <a href="ask_3.php"> <?php $entries_title ?> </a ><?php . '<br >';

	}

You can't jump out of php and back into php inside of an echo statement. PHP doesn't know what is going on.

 

Change:

echo '<br >' . $entries_time . '&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp' . ?> <a href="ask_3.php"> <?php $entries_title ?> </a ><?php . '<br >';

To:

echo '<br >' . $entries_time . '&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<a href="ask_3.php">' . $entries_title . '</a ><br >';
