You will have to be more specific because I see nothing wrong, as long as the CSS is either in the page itself or linked to with a link REL

You've got too many speech marks going on there. The ones in the link href are breaking the echo. Use speech marks to wrap your echo content, and within them either use apostrophes or escape the speech marks:

php

echo "<h2 id=\"homeLink\"><a href='index.php'>Home page</a></h2>";

Exactly! You need to either escape them out, or use single quotes. The 2nd double quote will end the 1st, & if it isn't followed by the semicolon, php pukes. This is an often, overlooked type-o.
