I have a registration page which submits to a registration script and if there is an error with the registration the it echos an error page and then includes the registration form. However the problem with just echoing the error message is it appears on top of the website in the body and not where I want it (at the top of the registration page). Is there a way to store the error in a variable which can be printed out on the registration page at the top of the form?
