Display error/thanks DIV after form submitted

[JaymeNYC]

I have my errors and thank u msgs in a div below my form, it has padding that makes the bottom of my site look strange since there is nothing there so I put display:none on it. How do I enable it after the form is clicked? heres my form

PHP Code:

<?php
                                // To better handle Validation errors we need to put the fields into an array for easier handling
                                $FIELDS = array("Your Name" => "name", "Your Email" => "email", "Your Message" => "txt", "Anti-Spam" => "question");
                                ?>
                                  <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>#contactform">
                                <?php
                                // Get question and answer for Anti-spam
                                $rand = rand(0,count($QUESTIONS)-1);    // randomize question being asked
                                list($q, $a) = $QUESTIONS[$rand];        // split question and answer up into seperate variables
                                $_SESSION['answer'] = $a;                // Answer for the question gets stored in a SESSION
                    
                                foreach($FIELDS as $fieldname => $name) {
                                $style = "";            // Used for changing background color of input field .
                            
                                // if there are errors we want to change the style of the input boxes to inform user 
                                if(isset($errors) && $errors[$name] == 1) $style = "style=\"border: 1px solid #d25e55;\"";
                            
                                echo "<div class=\"grp\">";
                                switch($name) {
                                case 'txt':
                                // need a textarea instead of an input box
                                echo "<label for=\"{$name}\">{$fieldname}</label><br />\n";
                                echo "<textarea id=\"{$name}\" {$style} name=\"{$name}\" class=\"\" rows=\"\" cols=\"\" onfocus=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#3c3c3f'\" ".
                                "onblur=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#2d2d30'\" >";
                                if(isset($_POST[$name])) echo $_POST[$name];
                                echo "</textarea>\n";
                                break;
                                case 'question':
                                    
                                echo "<label for=\"{$name}\">{$q}</label><br />\n";
                                echo "<input class=\"\" {$style} id=\"{$name}\" type=\"text\" name=\"{$name}\" onfocus=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#3c3c3f'\" ".
                                "onblur=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#2d2d30'\" />";
                                break;
                                    
                                default:
                                echo "<label for=\"{$name}\">{$fieldname}</label><br />\n";
                                echo "<input class=\"\" {$style} id=\"{$name}\" type=\"text\" name=\"{$name}\" onfocus=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#3c3c3f'\" ".
                                "onblur=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#2d2d30'\" value=\"";
                                if(isset($_POST[$name])) echo $_POST[$name];
                                echo "\" />\n";
                                break;
                                }
                                echo "</div>";
                                }
                                ?>
                        <div class="grp2">
                            <input class="formsubmit" type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" />
                            
                        </div>
                            </form>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div id="ereport">
                            <p>
                            <?php
                            // If errors found display DIV block
                            if(isset($errMsg)) echo $errMsg;
                    
                            // If form successfully submitted, thank the user.
                            if(isset($_GET['thankyou'])) {
                            echo $THANKYOU;
                            }
                            ?>
                            </p>
                    </div>

what would I change the display to so it works? and is this where I would do it?

Put your div inside your PHP if test so it only gets used if there's an error.

<?php
// If errors found display DIV block
if (isset($errMsg)) {
?>
<div id="ereport">
<p>
<?php echo $errMsg; ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php
}
// If form successfully submitted, thank the user.
if(isset($_GET['thankyou'])) {
echo $THANKYOU;
}
?>
