How can i add css code to a php file using <style> tags, current approach not working.

I'll include a basic example code; im trying to understand how to add css editing to a php file - within the file. Currently when the webpage opens from the server the editing is not applying.

lets say I want the variable myBirthday in the following code to increase in size and change colour to red, how do i fix this code?

<head>
   <title>
       countdown
   </title>
      <style type=”text/css”>
        #myBirthday
        {
          font-size: 100;
          color: #FF0000;
        }
      </style>

</head>
<body>
    <h1>
      My birthday.
    </h1>
    <?php
        $myBirthday = "10th October 1997";
        echo "Tell you a secret, my birthday is " . $myBirthday . <br> "Today is " .date('d-m-y') . ". <br>";
    ?>
</body>

I enclosed the myBirthday variable within a span which I gave the ID myBrirthday in order to style it with the CSS code you provided

<body>
    <h1>
      My birthday.
    </h1>
    <?php
        $myBirthday = "10th October 1997";
        echo "Tell you a secret, my birthday is <span id=\"myBirthday\">" . $myBirthday ."</span> <br> Today is " .date('d-m-y') . ". <br>";
    ?>
</body>

Also note that double quotes must be escaped when inside the "echo" statement.
