!doctype HTML Head /head Body: // Define Variables and Set To Empty Values

The document contains code for a PHP form with validation. It defines variables to store form input and a function to sanitize input. The form collects name, email, website, comment, and gender. It is then validated on submission to check for empty required fields before displaying the input. A second version adds error messages for required fields.
