Just to be on the safe side as well I recommend using <?php ?> tags and not short tags <? ?> because those are used by XML and other languages and can confilict.

Secondly if you just wanted to echo 'selvam' you could use javascript below.

PHP Code:

<form name="s" action="view.php">

<table align="center"  border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2">

<tr align="center">

<td><input type="button" value="View Profile" name="b1" onclick="alert('selvam');"></td>

<td><input type="button" value="Edit Profile" name="b2"></td>

<td><input type="button" value="Logout" name="b3"></td>

</tr>
