Add the redirect under your invalid area.

if (empty($_POST['email'])) {

    print "<br /> Please enter your email address.";
   
} elseif (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $_POST['email'])) {

   print " <br /> Email: Please enter a valid email address.";
     
} else {
