Error lies in these lines

Your  PHP tag is start.

but you write a normal html without a print or echo.
> $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">

it must be like this 
<?php
print "<form method='post' action='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}'>";
 ?>

or 

print "<form method='post' action='"; // Note single quotes before
closing double quotes.
print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
print "'>";

Remember once you have started a PHP tag you must use php things only .
Even if you want to write HTML then include it in  print or echo statements.
