PHP code

Hi just having a bit of trouble with this piece of code, it comes up with Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in E:\Other\xampp\htdocs\bookingformprocess.php on line 8
Im new to programming so unsure what it meant..has it to do with $error?


<?php /// bookingformprocess.php
include 'includes.php';

if (!isset($_POST) or empty($_POST)
$error = 'You need to enter your name!';

---

> Line 8

else {
$firstname = $_POST;
}

Fatal error: Call to undefined function template() in E:\Other\xampp\htdocs\bookingformprocess.php on line 18

if ($error) {
// form data is invalid, redisplay form with error message from its template
template('http://localhost/bookingform.tpl.php'); ----> line 18

You are calling a function 'template' on line 18.
and it's undefined....

Seriously though you are better off getting working scripts and modifying and understanding them. It will take you forever the way you are doing it now.
