Question

I’m new to PHP. Iv created a small php script. Basically I have a form and inside of it I have a function called show_sent:

        <form method="post" action="contact.php" class="formstyle">
            <h2>Formulaire de contact : </h2>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>

    <?
function show_sent(){
    ?>
    <p>Sent</p>

            <?
} // the function finishes here
?>

…….

I was hoping that it would only show the ‘Sent’ text when I call that function. How could I do this?
Thanks

contact.php is the same page as the form

You need to clean up your code a bit. Jumping into and out of HTML and PHP is not a good thing.

<?php

  function show_sent() {
    print "<p>Sent</p>";
  }

  if ($_POST) {
    $errors = false;
    /* logic to check data */
    if (!$errors)
      show_sent();
  }

?>

  <form>
    <input type="text" name="fname" />
  </form>
