Hello **newbie alert** <-- that's me btw, but you might have guessed
that by my topic title.

I have an html page that submits a name and email address by a form to
a page called preview.php

I'd like to do some basic validation on the credentials subbitted via
the form, and if they pass then send the credentials via email and
display the rest of the page (which will have links to download some
promotional tunes from my friends record label)

If the validation fails I'd like to display an alternative version of
the page telling the user to go back and fill in the form properly.

Can I do this by simply enclosing some html code in an echo statement?

for example

echo "<div id="success">Thanks, here are the links you are looking
for....</div>";

I'm guessing I might have to escape the extra quotation marks, because
it wouldn't parse the line when I just tried it.

Anyway.. Am I barking up the wrong tree completely?

Thanks in advance

Doug.
