simple if/else question

all i want is a message to display when a form is submitted

i am new to php so please be gentle, thanks.

this is what i got at the moment:

 

So.. what's wrong with that code? What do you need done?

Right now it will say "a message" if the URL contains a ?submit or &submit

 

nothing loads at the moment, that's the problem and i don't know why

 

Post full source?

 

In your submitted form, do you have a textfield named "submit"? If not, that's probably your problem

 

fixed it guys, thanks for the help

as always it was the naughty apostrophes

tut tut me
