[RESOLVED] Creating html email form

wolfsta

Hi all

New here.

I have a basic email form that takes name phone email etc, also has 3 file upload boxes for photos.

I have taken most of the code from free examples off the net and patched it together.

It had an error message if something went wrong. I wanted to put an html page instead of just the txt. So read that I could end tag the php then do html then begin tag the php again. Problem is some of the error message was from a different part of the php code. How can i get this displayed on the html.

Code below:


<?php
    if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
    $email_to = "email@email.com";
    $email_subject = "JoinUs Model Form";


    function died($error) {
        // your error code can go here
		?>

		<title>title</title>
		<style type="text/css">
		body {
			background-color: #000;
			text-align: center;
		}
		body,td,th {
			color: #FFF;
			font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
			font-size: 24px;
		}
		</style>
		</head>
		<body link="#FFFFFF" onload="setTimeout('history.back()',10000)">
		<p><img src="../images/logo.png" width="326" height="144" alt="sdadfsd" longdesc="http://www.dgfsfdg.com" /><br />
		</p>
        <br />
		<p>We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted.</p>
        <p>These errors appear below.</p>

   ####### this is where i want the below errors to appear in same format as html #########
