Seems like you're using some sort of a template or something.
 I am not familiar with this type, so I'm afraid I can't be of much
 help... but if i had to guess, it seems that you have to use {} instead
 of <?PHP and ?>  So try this :
 
 replace from the <?PHP line down to the input.error/input.normal line
 with this
 
 <?php
 /*
 * Do all the logic BEFORE the form layout
 */
 $class = "input.normal";
 
 if ($error_msg)
 $class = "input.error";
 
 $form_block=<<<END_FORM
 <form method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" class="info_request" >
 <fieldset class="left">
 <legend title="About You">About You</legend>
 
 <p><label for="firstname"><span class="red">*</span> First Name: </label><br
 />
 
 <input class="{$class?}" id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text" value="{$_POST['firstname']}">
 
 Regarding the regex,
 
 check out this page http://www.sitepoint.com/article/regular-expressions-php
 
 the gist of it is
 |
 eregi('^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,5}$', $email)|
 
 
 Good Luck
