sticky form not working

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm trying to make a form sticky but when I display it on the web I get a blank page. I'm following the example given in my PHP book I'm wondering if there 's an error in the book because it has 2 opening  form tags which I didn't think was right.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<body>
<?php
$errors=array();
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
	validate_input(); //checks for empty fields 
	if(count($errors) !=0){
		display_form();
	}
	else {
		display_form(); 
	}
}
function validate_input(){
	global $errors;
	if($_POST["name"]  == ""){
		$errors['name']="<font color='red'>
		please enter your name </font>";
	}
}
   function display_form(){
  	global $errors;
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Name:  <input name="name" type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" value = "<?php echo $_POST[name]; ?>"/>
    <br />  
    <?php echo $errors['name']; ?>
<br />  
    Email:  <input name="email" type="text" size="15" maxlength="30" /><br />   
<input name="submit " type="submit" value="submit " />
</form>
<?php
   }
?>
</body>
</html>
