ok..I'm one step closer. Just one more thing to straighten out. Check out the screen shot. HOw do I properly format that?

[dclamp]

well either <br> or \n\r

[reliable]

you've been a huge help.

What I meant by formatting--I should have said format and style-- is integrating within the rest of the message so it flows legibly and looks neat and professional.

[dclamp]

well you are going to want to use a line break for sure, but to show the rest of your message you want to echo $order below your message

You have echo $result, change it to $order at the bottom of your code

Order is the order and result is the thank you message. So, how do I get $order" within $result so it says Thank you for your order of ........(whatever echo $order is) and style it to look like the rest fo the message. I'm sure there's an intermingling of PHP and HTML. It seems like I might be jumping in and out of both, but Im not quite sure how to do that.

[dclamp]

you would use <?php echo $order; ?> and put it where you need it in the HTML

ok...I have another problem. I was using PHP to validate teh text fields, but the validate one at a time. I want the user to see everywhere they messed up at the same time. SO if they leave 5 fields blank I want them to get 1 error message about all 5 fields. Would that B PHP or Javascript or a combo? Here is an example

if (strlen($name_of_person_placing_order) == 0 )
{
die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='5' color='#4b2600'>Please enter name</font></p>");
}

if (strlen($phone_number) == 0 )
{
die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='5' color='#4b2600'>Please enter a phone number</font></p>");
}

I answered my own question. I just attached all required variables to the same general error message.
