Hello,

Im trying to do a form where the client enters his details.

Then if its correct, details are sent to my email and if incorrect, it sends out an error.

What you need, is not a table (though, you may choose to use one for layout purposes - against almost all advice).

You need a form, whose `action` points to the PHP file you'd like to catch all the details with.

Here, like this: https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<form action="/action_page.php">
First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="Mickey"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="Mouse"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<p>Click the "Submit" button and the form-data will be sent to a page on the server called "/action_page.php".</p>

</body>
