That line is syntactically invalid.  Did you meant it to say

echo lt;META NAME=$keywords CONTENT= $keywords gt;;

The quotes within the quotes.
Change to:
echolt;META NAME=\keywords\ CONTENT=\ $keywords \gt;;

The quotes within the quotes -- you need to escape them.   Otherwise, the
second double quote terminates the quoted string, yet there's some more junk
on the line.  By escaping them, you tellphp you mean the literal , and
don't want to terminate the string .
So change to:
echolt;META NAME=\keywords\ CONTENT=\ $keywords \gt;;

Everyone seems to forget that you don't have to do everything in PHP.

if ($_POST[keywords])
{
?meta name=keywords content=? echo $_POST[keywords]; ??
}

Happy hacking.

I knew I shouldn't of been doing this on Saturday morning. I forgot 
something as simple as that. Maybe another jolt of caffeine is needed.

Thanks

You can mix and match single (') and double ()
quotes so the following are all appropriate:

  echo a 'string' b;
  echo a \string\ b;
  
  echo 'a \'string\' b;
  echo 'a string b;

See?  PHP can't read your mind and know what  
goes with what, like:

  echo abcdefg; // BAD

Now, when dealing with arrays inside strings:

  echo an {$array['key']} b;
  echo 'an ' . $array['key'] . ' b';
  echo an $array[key] b;

I think you meant to end both of these strings with a '
