<?php
} else {

<form action=”contact.php” method=”post”>
<table align=”center” width=”600″ border=”0″ cellspacing=”2″ cellpadding=”0″>
<tr>
<td width=”29%” align=”left” valign=”top”><strong>Your name:</strong></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td align=”left” valign=”top”><strong>Comment:</strong></td>
<td><textarea name=”comment” cols=”61″ rows=”6″ id=”comment”></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td align=”left” valign=”top”><input type=”submit” name=”Submit” value=”Send”></td>
