Maddening Form Problem

I've been working on this little piece of code for much too long now. I've done something like it before, and before I was able to attribute it to some stupid error and was able to fix it. But I forgot what that error was.

Basically, it's a form in a frame that sends the result to the frame next to it. It's being outputted by this massive PHP block, causing the "echo;" makeup. Please help me - I don't want to be stuck on this any longer, else I may go insane.

echo "Play your flute <form action=\"fightPane.php\" method=\"get\" target='fightpane'>
<select name='amount'>
<option value='1'>not very (" . $bard1 . " MP)</option>
<option value='2'>sorta (" . $bard1*2 . " MP)</option>
<option value='3'>pretty (" . $bard1*3 . " MP)</option>
<option value='4'>really (" . $bard1*4 . " MP)</option>
</select>
<input type='hidden' name='action' value='bard' />
<input type='hidden' name='kind' value='flute' />
<input type='submit' value='hard.' class=\"lol1\" onmouseover=\"this.className='lol2'\" onmouseout=\"this.className='lol1'\" />
</form>";

I have created three files and can not see what the problem is:

frame-problem.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN'
'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd'>
<html><head>
<title>Frame Problem</title></head>

<frameset cols='50%,50%'>
<frame src='20100612-form-problem.php'>
<frame src='fightPane.php' name='fightpane'>

<noframes>
In a browser that supports Frames this page shows:
a <a href='20100612-form-problem.php'>form problem</a>, and
<a href='fightPane.php'>fight pane</a>.
</noframes>

</frameset>

</html>

<p>The values passed to fightPane.php are:</p>
<ul>
<?php
foreach ( $_GET as $key => $value ) {
echo "<li>\$key = " . $key . ", \$value = ". $value . "</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

Please describe your problem. If necessary modify the above so that the three files illustrate the problem you are having.
