Post form results to same PHP page

For "Contact Us" forms, I prefer to post form results to the same PHP page. I find keeping everything together on the same page is easier to maintain and keep track of (plus I hate directories with too many files). The general structure of the PHP for such a page is as follows:


<?php

if ($_POST)  

    {

    // display form

?>

<form method='post'>

    <input type='text' name='Name'><br>

    <input type='text' name='Email'><br>

    <input type='submit' value='Submit'>

</form>

<?php

    } 

else 

    { 

    echo "Thanks for your form results";

    // this code parses the form results and emails them to you

    $Message = ""; 

    foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) 

        { 

        if ($value) 

            $Message .="$key: $valuern"; 

        } 

    // replace 'name@domain.com' with your own email. Your HTML form also needs to have fields Name and Email

    mail("name@domain.com", "Form Results", stripslashes($Message), "From: ".$_POST['Name']." <".$_POST['Email'].">" ); 

    } 

?>

hello, this didn\'t do much besides email me an empty message titled form results. And the script just displays\"thank you for your form results\" when it\'s called up. I don\'t know much about this stuff so I probably did it wrong.What did I do wrong? I saved the script as formres.php and then even tried having a regular html form post to it because just the script alone seemed ineffectual.But both methods didn\'t work. no big deal.

not that i talk on these much he failed to add the ! to the if ($_POST) right now that shows that if you are posting stuff to show the form.. instead of showing us the form to submit.. it should read if (! $_POST)

How can you create a form that displays erros on same page, for example if you don't complete Name field, it refreshes page(or not) and displays the error under that field.
