Dear Simon, You need to check your form fields. As per your code comment below;
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form I expect your form below the comment unless your form action is pointing to this file. Something like ; echo "<form method='post' action='test.php'> ..... ... Also your test file should end with a .php instead of the test.htm you have just sent.
