What PHP cade are you using to parse the form? I guess you're posting the form to a process.php sort of script?

What you need to do in here is test each input is valid and acceptable, and store an error sting if it is not. Then echo the Error string after it's finished parsing, and send the header back to the form page.

This way you'll capture your errors.

If you want to, post your PHP in here and I'll take a look

do you know how to make a dropdown menu required

i am confused on what you said

i sort of fixed it i

added

include_once("gobackbtn.html");
include_once("bottom_site_map_error.html");
so it would cut the content off

im sure i just did a shortcut but not profesionally take a look

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

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "name@gmail.com";
$email_subject = "SUBJECT.";


function died($error) { // your error code can go here
echo "<br />";
echo "<div align='center'><h1>We are very sorry, but there were error(s)<br /> found with your form submission.</h1></div><br /><br />";
echo "<p style='color:green'><h2> These errors appear below: </h2></p> <br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
include_once("gobackbtn.html");
include_once("bottom_site_map_error.html");
die();
}

// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
!isset($_POST['country']) ||
!isset($_POST['address']) ||
!isset($_POST['drop_down'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be errors with the form your submitted.');
