MySQL and PHP help

[aphq]

I am new to MySQL and PHP, so I am taking tutorials and following the practices it gives me. I have data in the database, but I don't know how to create an out put. This code:

$first $last
Phone: $phone
Mobile: $mobile
Fax: $fax
E-mail: $email
Web: $web

---

'; $i++; } ?>

Creates this output:
$first $last
Phone: $phone
Mobile: $mobile
Fax: $fax
E-mail: $email
Web: $web.
What am I doing wrong?
