[RESOLVED] PHP FORM | w/immediate field validation

[B]Hi [/B]

I am trying to complete a form with an error report in case a sender forgot to complete a name field or any other fields. I was hoping to have an error post immediately after the submit button is pushed. But I do not want to redirect to an error page. Just to have a [COLOR=”Red”]red colored error description[/COLOR] appear above the field.

What happens? After the submit button is pushed, page changes and gives out an error on line 42. Which is where the line [B] if{$error==””) [/B] starts.

Please help! After four days of trying I give up. I need help. I cant take this anymore! I striped all the styling for quick appearance here.
