Can't put PHP form in a table...

Question

I've created a form which works fine, but when I put it in a table it always thinks the form is incomplete - is there a way I can put it in a table (so it looks nice!) without this problem?

-----My HTML------

<h2 class="green">Interested in making life easier?</h2>

<form method="post" action="sendemail.php">

<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />

Name:  
<input type="text" name="visitor" size="25" />
<br />

Address:<input type="text" name="visitoradd" size="25" />
<br />

City:<input type="text" name="visitorcity" size="15" />
<br />

Postcode:<input type="text" name="visitorpost" size="15" />
<br />

Email:<input type="text" name="visitormail" size="25" />
<br />

Telephone Number:<input type="text" name="visitortel" size="25" />
<br />


Bookkeeping/Payroll:<select name="bp" size="1">
<option value=" Bookkeeping">Bookkeeping </option>
<option value=" Payroll ">Payroll</option>
</select>
<br />

Number of transactions: <input type="text" name="transcations" size="15" />
<br />

Number of employees:<input type="text" name="employees" size="15" />
<br />

Payroll weekly/monthly:<select name="pmw" size="1">
<option value=" Weekly">Weekly</option>
<option value=" Monthly">Monthly</option>
</select>
<br />

<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="images/btnSubmit.png" ALT="Submit Form">

<?php

$visitor = $_POST['visitor'];
$visitoradd = $_POST['visitoradd'];

$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];
$visitortel = $_POST['visitortel'];

$employees = $_POST['employees'];
$pmw = $_POST['pmw'];


if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,".")))
{
echo "<h2>Please enter valid e-mail.</h2>\n";
$badinput = "<h2>Click the back button to retry.</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("Thank you.");
}

if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail)  || empty($visitorcity) || empty($visitorpost) || empty($visitoradd)   || empty($visitortel) || empty($bp) || empty($transcations)  || empty($employees) || empty($pmw) || empty($pmw)) 
{
echo "<h2>Please fill in all fields, click the back button to retry</h2>\n";
die ("Thank you.");
}

$message = "

;

$subject = "Payment Details";

mail("[email protected]",$subject,$message,$visitormail);

?>

Thank You : <?php echo $visitor ?> ( <?php echo $visitormail ?> )

Place the form tags outside of the table like so:

<form>
  <TABLE>
  <TR>
    <TD>Name</TD>
    <TD><input type="text" name="visitor" size="25" /></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD>Address</TD>
    <TD><input type="text" name="address" size="25" /></TD>
  </TR>
  </TABLE>
</form>

If you are needing to specify width, height, etc.. then use CSS.
