Is this in a post or just somewhere (all the time) in the forum? If so, you will need to locate the file - for example, you might see header.php in there somewhere and then placing that code in there might help it to show up on the forum.

Always make a copy of the file before making any changes.

What version of phpBB are you using? Version 3.0.1 allows you to edit the PHP files live in the control panel in the styles/editing section.

If the edit messes up the page then there is a "reset" button to take the page back to the original layout.

Does you forum allow HTML code? Most only allow BB Code for security reasons.

I run a couple of forums and other than parsing email addresses and URLs (which is done automatically in most newer forums), unless there is an approved BBCode to create a table in your posting, you are out of luck unless you can convince the administrator of the forum to add the required BBcodes to the forum.

BBcode tokens are "safe" replacements for HTML tags. Within a posting, the forum software ignors HTML tags and only responds to BBCode tokens. Thats why your HTML code for the table shows up as it does - as HTML code.
