PHP Form Submitting on Page Load

Form submitting prematurely

Hi,

I'm pretty new to PHP and I am trying to submit a form to itself. I used 'echo' to include any images so everything looks as it should (if someone has a better way to that, enlighten me).

I had loaded the page a few times and it looked/worked right, minus the bad validations I worked out. Now that specific page is not loading at all now, but when I navigate to contact.php, the internal server error shows up, but I get a blank email anyway. The script processed without the page even loading. Is there something I can do to load up the page, but not execute the script. Or is it possibly just the server problem?

mail($email, "Auto-Reply", $autoreply, "From: example");

}
