Ok i know this problly very simple how would i set up a page that would print "this is a required field" right under the field, if ther person try to submint the form. so how would i use the HTML and hte php togetter.

<form action="" method="POST">
email <input type="text" name="email"> (required field)<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<br>
<br>

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	if (!$_POST['email']) {echo 'required field missing';}
	else {echo 'thank you ' . $_POST['email'];}
}
?>

<?php
// You can use a variable $message, if anything goes wrong
// From beginning $message is empty
$message ='';

// test submitted fields here
if ( $some_error ) $message = 'some error message';

?>

<!-- Your HTML form part -->
<?php
// if NOT empty
if ( !empty( $message )) echo $message;
// else is empty
else  echo '<b>Welcome! Fill in required fields, please.</b><br>';
?>
Fields marked <b>*</b> are required.
<form .......... >
<input .............>  <b>*</b><br>
<input .............>  <br>
<input .............>  <b>*</b><br>
<input type='submit value='SUBMIT'>
</form>
