My php code outputs random semi colons - php

Question

My PHP and HTML code is used to get data from a MySQL database and display it in a table run through a while loop, however there are random semicolons being output before the table tag starts and the h3 tag ends (seen through inspect element in browser). The number of semicolons outputted matches the number of rows from the SQL query.
echo "<form action='predictions.php' method='POST'>";
echo "<h3>" . $date[0] . "</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<col width='100'>
<col width='50'>
<col width='50'>
<col width='100'>
<col width='70'>
<col width='100'>
<th>Home <br> Team</th>
<th>Home <br> Score</th>
<th>Away <br> Score</th>
<th>Away <br> Team</th>
<th>Match <br> Time </th>
<th>First <br> Scorer </th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_row($match) and $matchid = mysqli_fetch_array($sqlmatchid)){
if ($date[0] != $row[3]) {
echo "</table>";
echo "<hr>";
$date[0] = $row[3];
echo "<h3>".$date[0]."</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<col width='100'>
<col width='50'>
<col width='50'>
<col width='100'>
<col width='70'>
<col width='100'>
<th>Home <br> Team</th>
<th>Home <br> Score</th>
<th>Away <br> Score</th>
<th>Away <br> Team</th>
<th>Match <br> Time </th>
<th>First <br> Scorer </th>
</tr>";
}
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row[0] . "</td>" ?>
<td> <input id='phs' type='text' name=<?php echo "phs".$matchid['MatchID'] ?> size='1' maxlength='1'> </td>
<td> <input id='pas' type='text' name=<?php echo "pas".$matchid['MatchID'] ?> size='1' maxlength='1'> </td>
<?php
$smatchid = $matchid['MatchID']; //match id to find scorer
echo "<td>" . $row[1] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row[2] . "</td>" ?>
<td> <select id="scorer" name=<?php echo "scorer".$matchid['MatchID'] ?>>
<option> </option>
<?php
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT PlayerName
FROM players, matches
WHERE matches.MatchID = '$smatchid' AND (players.TeamID = matches.HTeamID OR players.TeamID = matches.ATeamID)");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)){
echo "<option> $row[0] </option>";
}
?>
</select> </td>;
<?php
echo "</tr>";
}
I don't understand why these semicolons are appearing and want to remove them.

Answer 1

The semicolon is coming because you have written </select> </td>;. Semicolon after </td> generating it every time. Remove it from there.
