Okay, I was able to make this work with a simplier form - but now with a bigger one, it won't work. It won't show the form at all. I've tried to fix this for an hour, but with no luck. Here is the code:
<?php
function show_form($name="",
$company="",
$address="",
$state="",
$zip="",
$dateofevent="",
$workphone="",
$homephone="",
$fax="",
$cell="",
$time="",
$coatcheck="",
$cars="",
$people="",
$rsvpdate="",
$billingaddress="",
$billingstate="",
$billingzip="",
$hear="",
$comments="") { ?>
<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="POST" name="Request">
<div class="left">Name:</div><input name="name" type="text" value="<? echo $name; ?>"/><br />

<div class="left"> </div><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"/><br />
</form>
<? }
if ($submit)
{
//submit was pressed and validate form here

else

//show form for the first time
showform();
