PHP echo in a HTML Page
<p>I have a contact.<strong>html</strong> page I have a form on.  The form action goes to .php page to handle the email, nothing special. On that page I have:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
function check_input($data)
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
}

$FirstName = check_input($_REQUEST['FirstName']);
$LastName = check_input($_REQUEST['LastName']);
$email = check_input($_REQUEST['email']);
$phone = check_input($_REQUEST['phone']);
$message = check_input($_REQUEST['message']);
$human = check_input($_REQUEST['human']);
$webpackage = check_input($_REQUEST['webpackage']);
$webdesign = check_input($_REQUEST['webdesign']);
$customdesign = check_input($_REQUEST['customdesign']);

if ($human == 5) {

$to = "****.com";
$subject = "From ****";

$body = " From: $FirstName  $LastName\n\n E-Mail: $email\n\n Phone:     $phone\n\n Message:\n\n $message\n\n Web Package:$webpackage\n\n Web     Design:$webdesign\n\n Custom Design:$customdesign";


mail ($to, $subject, $body);
header('location: index.html');
}
else {
$result="&lt;div class=\"alert alert-danger\"&gt;Sorry there was an error sending     your message. Please go back and check your anti-spam answer&lt;/div&gt;";
}

?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I have a simple box that equals 5 that I am checking value for.  This works and email sent with all info.  <strong>BUT</strong> if not equal to 5 is where the problem starts. The page goes to my <code>action.php</code> page and is blank.</p>

<p>My html on the <code>contact.html</code> page is:</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
                &lt;div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2"&gt;
                    &lt;?php echo($result); ?&gt;
                &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Using this to get to my <code>action.php</code> page through form. Everything else is .html:</p>

<pre><code> &lt;form class="form-horizontal" id="contact-form" method="post" action="/action.php"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Is there a way to do this? I have a work around where I just <code>echo</code> the error from the <code>.php</code> page. This works if <code>!=5</code> but not exactly what I want to do.  As you may tell, I am not PHP literate.</p>
