There is a very simple explanation to this. Quotes surround strings, you have an open quote and a closing quote.

 

I think you can see from this why your echo is not working. For your example use double quotes for the whole string (one at each end) and single quotes around the quoted item within the string.

A better way would be to use the htmlentities() function.  If you used single quotes to delimit all the form attributes, it would be much cleaner code (and easier to understand):

<?php
echo "<table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0'>
<form action='' method='post'>
<tr><td></td><td><input type='hidden' name='uid' value='$uid' class='TEXTB' /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Item Description:</td><td><input type='text' name='item' value='" . htmlentities($item5,ENT_QUOTES) . "' class='TEXTB' /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Ex Tax $: </td><td><input type='text' name='cost' value='$cost5' class='TEXTB' /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Markup $: </td><td><input type='text' name='markup' value='$markup5' class='TEXTB' /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Shipping $: </td><td><input type='text' name='shipping' value='$shipping5' class='TEXTB' /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Type: </td><td><select type='text' name='type' class='SELECTA' />
<option value='$type5'>$type5 &nbsp&nbsp (current)</option>";
?>
