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
