   <head>
      <style>
         .error {color: #FF0000;}
      </style>
   </head>
   
   <body> 
      <?php
         // define variables and set to empty values
         $nameErr = $emailErr = $genderErr = $websiteErr = "";
         $name = $email = $gender = $class = $course = $subject = "";
         
         if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
            if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
               $nameErr = "Name is required";
            }else {
               $name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
            }
            
            if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
               $emailErr = "Email is required";
            }else {
               $email = test_input($_POST["email"]);
               
               // check if e-mail address is well-formed
               if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
                  $emailErr = "Invalid email format"; 
               }
            }
            
            if (empty($_POST["course"])) {
               $course = "";
            }else {
               $course = test_input($_POST["course"]);
            }
            
            if (empty($_POST["class"])) {
               $class = "";
            }else {
               $class = test_input($_POST["class"]);
            }
            
            if (empty($_POST["gender"])) {
               $genderErr = "Gender is required";
            }else {
               $gender = test_input($_POST["gender"]);
            }
            
            if (empty($_POST["subject"])) {
               $subjectErr = "You must select 1 or more";
            }else {
               $subject = $_POST["subject"];	
            }
         }
         
         function test_input($data) {
