Here's what I do when I use a one page PHP cgi.

In my form you have your submit button. something like
<input type="submit" name="action" value="submit">

Then in your php you put an if statement

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == "submit") {
// then print out all your variables.
} else {
// print out your form
}

I would suggest that you rewrite it. I have fixed somethings but it still doesn't work.
look at some aviable formscripts and try to learn the structure...

TP: Merry Christmas and a Happy $new = $Year...

code:

<?





		$subject = $_POST['subject'];

		$address = $_POST['address'];

		$body   = $_POST['body'];	



		



function check()

		{ 



	if(empty($subject)) $code = "<font color='red'>You must enter a Subject</font>";

	                  

	elseif (empty($address)) $code = "<font color='red'>You must enter a Email adress</font>";

	

	elseif (empty($body)) $code = "<font color='red'>You cant send a blank message</font>";

	    

	else $code = "Your message have been sent!";

        

		}



		

 

	



$form = "<html>

         <head></title>Form</title></head><body>

         ".$code."

         <form action='<?=PHP_SELF?>'  method='post'>

         <P>Subject <br>      :<input type='text' name='subject' width='200' align=right>

         <br>Email Address<br> :<input type='text' name='address' width='200' align=right>

	<br>Message <br>   :<input tyoe=text  name='body'  rows='10' cols='30' align='right'>

<br>

<input type='submit' name='action' value='submit'>

<br>

<br>

</form>

<body>

</html>";



if ($_POST['action'] == "submit")

	{

		check();

		$mode = $form;

	}



	else

	{

		$mode = $form;

	} 

       

echo $mode; // echo it is!
