Hello, I have a contact form with three fields, name, email, and comment, and a CAPTCHA I am doing some basic validation for empty fields but am getting a PHP error when trying to redirect back to the original page with an ERROR, It seems when my COMMENT field contains<BR>s, it generates the PHP ERROR. No<BR?s works perfectly.

You still haven't given us what ERROR you receive, but you need to urlencode() $_POST['comment'] and the other values in the URL query string.

echo "HI"; header(... This part will cause an error since outputting anything will cause the headers to be sent (unless output buffering is on). Once sent, the headers cannot be modified. You should also think about using urlencode on the values being sent in the redirect URLs, or even using a code to reference each error.
