nested tables problem [Archive]

Hello - I'm having trouble getting my nested tables to show correctly. Please ignore the php code and look at the table code... It displays the inner table after the outer table, instead of within it. I've even printed it out and used colored pencils to try to find the missing closing statement! I'm just not finding it. Do you see anything?

A view of how it looks currently (http://webdev4.matcmadison.edu/mbtest/lgr/a3/a3.php)

(Please excuse all the odd border colors - I'm using that to test my table issue and my border issue.)
Thanks for your help... the code is below

<?php
$year = date("Y"); // current year

if (isset($_GET['month']))
$month = $_GET['month'];
if (isset($_GET['year']))
$year = $_GET['year'];
else
$month = date("n"); // 9 for September

print ("<html>\n");
print ("<head>\n");
print ("<title>3</title>\n");
print ("</head>\n");
print ("<body>\n");
// Output to HTML table with a form for entering the month and year and a submit button
// outer table
print ("<table style='border:3px solid red' width='520' bgcolor='lightgrey' cellspacing='0' align='center'>\n");
// ***** tr and td of outer table
print ("<tr><td>\n");
print ("<tr align='center'>\r\n");
// print form
print ("<td colspan='7'>\n");
print("<form action='{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}'" . "method='get'>\n");
// Ask for the year
print("<b>Year:</b> " .
"<input type='text' style='width:50px' name='year' " .
"value='$year'>\n" .
" \n");
// Ask for the month
print("<b>Month:</b> " .
"<select name='month'>" .
"<option value='1'>January</option>" .
"<option value='2'>February</option>" .
"<option value='3'>March</option>" .
"<option value='4'>April</option>" .

// Convert a month number to its name by getting a time stamp for that month
// (any day, any year) and then using date() against that timestamp with the

$monthName = date("F", $ts); // "January", "February", ...
print ("<tr>\n"); // Month and year row

print "<tr>\n";
$date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year);
