PHP echo and formatting help

Hi there,

I stumbled on these forums and hope someone can help.

I would like to create a very simple page where users can enter information in text boxes and upload images and then when they click submit the text should be outputted on screen as valid xhtml with each textbox being styled as the script is coded todo

So for instance if the form has

text box : first box text
text box : Second box text
Image: Image

Rendered page

<p style="padding-right: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #ffffff; padding-top: 2px; background-color: #e26e6e; border: #f6b5b5 2px solid">
<strong>first box text</strong>
</p>
<p style="padding-right: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #555555; padding-top: 2px; background-color: #f4ff9f; border: #ffe29f 2px solid">
<strong>Second box text</strong><br />
<br />
</p>
<img src="image.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="399" height="299" />


Any help with examples would be appreciated.
Regards

 

-_- i think this is html? table formatting

 

OK first, put all that CSS in a stylesheet. =)

Second, as far as the form

// check to see if the form has been submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 // error check
 if(!empty($_POST['value'])) {
  // do something with the information - insert, upload, etc
  // then display the information
  echo("<p>".$_POST['value']."</p>");
 }
} 
// the form hasn't been submitted
echo("<form method='POST'>");
// the rest of the form elements

Code (markup):
