I am writing a PHP registration form but when i view my page i cannot see the form, any ideas all my code is below.

i have noticed that if i remove the

print '<h1> Please Register To Continue </h1>';
print '<style type="text/"
		media="screen>
		.error { color: red; }
		</style>';

my form is displayed but none of my error messages are

register.php

<?php  

define('TITLE', 'Register');
include('header.html');

print '<h1> Please Register To Continue </h1>';
print '<style type="text/"
		media="screen>
		.error { color: red; }
		</style>';
		
if ( isset($_post['submitted']) ) {
 
$problem = FALSE;

if (empty($_POST['fname'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
print '<p class="error">Please Enter Your First Name!</p>';
}
if (empty($_POST['lname'])) { 
$problem = TRUE;
print '<p class="error">Please Enter Your Last Name!</p>';
}
if (empty($_POST['email'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
print '<p class="error">Please Enter Your Email Address!</p>';
}
if (empty($_POST['password1'])) { 
$problem = TRUE;
print '<p class="error">Please Enter A Password!</p>';
}
if ($_POST['password1'] != $_POST['password2']) {
$problem = TRUE;
print '<p class="error">Please Enter A Password!</p>'; 
}
if (!$problem) {
print '<p>blah blah need to do this bit of script to MySQL still</p>';
$_POST = array();
} else {
print '<p class="error">Please Try Again</p>';
}
}
?>

<form action="register.php" method="post">

This is wrong. You have a mess. If you delete this the form will show. You have an unclosed ". So everything that follows is assumed to be an attribute value until we reach the next ".

<style media="screen">.error { color: red;}</style>';

The above should be in the 'head' area not in the 'body'.

i see, thankyou, managed to get it working now :)
