Hello everyone... this is my first post and i'm learning php etc. I been trolling around the board for week looking for some info and well im still confused. I guess im hitting a tough project here. Beyond my capabilities right now, but i'll get there eventually. Im interested in the below code for a shopping cart. It's a registration form. My problem, i dont understand the fieldset part. Well actually i'd like to get this out of the fieldset where i am able to customize the layout to this form. Currently, it displays a straight down Label / Field look and it looks crappy. I'd like to be able to edit the labels & fields like i would in Dreamweaver. Being able to see what it could look like. I suppose in a <table> form? I been playing with this code but recieved serious results that weren't wanted of course. What i'm looking for is to be able to make it look like so: http://teepeesigns.com/!files/regform.jpg This is not exactly the same form, but position wise is what im after. Being the code below contains a fieldset, i cannot figure out how to get it out of it and make it the way I want. Please advise, after a week im baffled with Fatal Errors. ps: site isnt live, im doing this thru the pc xampp & joomla Thanks for your time. ------------------------------------------------------------- [code]<?php defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' ); /* */ mm_showMyFileName( __FILE__ ); $country = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'country', $vendor_country_3_code); $state = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'state', ''); $missing = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, "missing", "" ); $missing_style = "color:red; font-weight:bold;"; if (!empty( $missing )) { echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert('".$VM_LANG->_CONTACT_FORM_NC."'); </script>\n"; } $label_div_style = 'float:left;width:30%;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom;font-weight: bold;padding-right: 5px;'; $field_div_style = 'float:left;width:60%;'; $required_fields = Array( 'first_name', 'last_name', 'address_1', 'city', 'zip', 'country', 'phone_1' ); $shopper_fields = array(); // This is a list of all fields in the form // They are structured into fieldset // where the begin of the fieldset is marked by // an index called uniqid('fieldset_begin') // and the end uniqid('fieldset_end') if (!$my->id && VM_SILENT_REGISTRATION != '1' ) { // These are the fields for registering a completely new user! // Create a new fieldset $shopper_fields[uniqid('fieldset_begin')] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_CUST_INFO_LBL; $shopper_fields['username'] = $VM_LANG->_REGISTER_UNAME; $shopper_fields['email'] = $VM_LANG->_REGISTER_EMAIL; $shopper_fields['password'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_PASSWORD_1; $shopper_fields['password2'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_PASSWORD_2; // Finish the fieldset $shopper_fields[uniqid('fieldset_end')] = ""; // Add the new required fields into the existing array of required fields $required_fields = array_merge( $required_fields, Array( 'email', 'username','password','password2') ); } // Now the fields for customer information...Bill To ! $shopper_fields[uniqid('fieldset_begin')] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_USER_FORM_BILLTO_LBL; $shopper_fields['company'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_COMPANY_NAME; $shopper_fields['title'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_TITLE; $shopper_fields['first_name'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_FIRST_NAME; $shopper_fields['last_name'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_LAST_NAME; $shopper_fields['middle_name'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_MIDDLE_NAME; $shopper_fields['address_1'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_ADDRESS_1; $shopper_fields['address_2'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_ADDRESS_2; $shopper_fields['city'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_CITY; $shopper_fields['zip'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_ZIP; $shopper_fields['country'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_COUNTRY; if (CAN_SELECT_STATES == '1') { $shopper_fields['state'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_STATE; $required_fields[] = 'state'; } $shopper_fields['phone_1'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_PHONE; $shopper_fields['phone_2'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_PHONE2; $shopper_fields['fax'] = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_FAX; if (!$my->id && VM_SILENT_REGISTRATION == '1') { $shopper_fields['email'] = $VM_LANG->_REGISTER_EMAIL; $required_fields[] = 'email'; } // Extra Fields when defined in the language file for( $i=1; $i<6; $i++ ) { $property = "_PHPSHOP_SHOPPER_FORM_EXTRA_FIELD_$i"; if( $VM_LANG->$property != "" ) { $shopper_fields['extra_field_'.$i] = $VM_LANG->$property; } } $shopper_fields[uniqid('fieldset_end')] = ""; // Is entering bank account information possible? if (LEAVE_BANK_DATA == '1') {     $selected[0] = @$_REQUEST['bank_account_type']=="Checking" ?
