Why does PHP break my CSS? - php

Question

I have recently created a contact form with PHP mailer which is finally working. However the success message is breaking my page and displaying in the top left corner instead of underneath the form. As you can see below.
This is the HTML:
<form method="POST">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><label for="name" class="g">Name</label></td>
<td><input id="name" name="name" type="text" autofocus></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="address" class="g">Address</label></td>
<td><textarea rows="3" id="address" name="address" cols="50"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="number" class="g">Contact number</label></td>
<td><input id="number" name="number" type="text" autofocus></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="email" class="g">Email</label></td>
<td><input id="email" name="email" type="text" placeholder="example#domain.com" autofocus></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="message" class="g">Enquiry</label></td>
<td><textarea rows="3" id="message" name="message" cols="50"></textarea></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
<?php
if ($success) {
echo $success;
}
?>
</form>
It also creates a huge blank white area in the middle of my page under the form. Does anyone know why this is? or how I would go about debugging it?

Answer 1

You should put this in a div or a span
<div style="text-align:center;"> <?php
if ($success) {
echo $success;
}
?>
</div>

Answer 2

Try following code:
<form method="POST">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><label for="name" class="g">Name</label></td>
<td><input id="name" name="name" type="text" autofocus></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="address" class="g">Address</label></td>
<td><textarea rows="3" id="address" name="address" cols="50"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="number" class="g">Contact number</label></td>
<td><input id="number" name="number" type="text" autofocus></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="email" class="g">Email</label></td>
<td><input id="email" name="email" type="text" placeholder="example#domain.com" autofocus></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="message" class="g">Enquiry</label></td>
<td><textarea rows="3" id="message" name="message" cols="50"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<?php
if ($success) {?>
<tr><td colspan="2">
<?php echo $success; ?>
</td></tr>
<?php }
?>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
