If the code above doesn't work, it is becuase it has errors in the last print statment. You need to escape double quotes with backslashes.
Sorry, the above works well but the user right now can leave out a field such as... let's say firstname.. now if I want to add a line in there to stop them maybe a if $firstname == "" then something..... but not to sure how to add it to this code
