Hi
I tried to display an error message out of "table," as your Form Feedback( php textbook p. 53-a).
However, the error message viewed below "table" http://127.0.0.1/ch02/phpPaycheck2.php.
If you offer me any suggestion, that will help me a lot.
<table id= "employee">
<tr>
<th colspan ="2">Paycheck Calculator</th>
<th> </th>
</tr>
<tr class ="alt">
<td colspan="2"> First Name</td>
<td class="money">
<?php
?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> Last Name</td>
<td class="money">
<?php
$last_name = 'Doe'; // variable
echo $last_name;
?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan = "2">Hours Worked (between 0 and 80)</td>
<td class="money">
<?php #Script 1 -paycheck.php # Created March 14, 2016 by Kb
$regHourWorked = 40; // initializing
echo $regHourWorked; // print
?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
