Unfortunately I can't call any function that will output directly, otherwise I would be using warn or die. If I call warn, I'll end up with something that looks like:

<p>Error Message</p>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Error</title>
 </head>
 <body>
...
 </body>
</html>

As it stands right now, the script pushes a message onto the error stack, which is checked later in the script. The user is then informed of any errors or sent to the next form if there were no errors. It's not clear from the above snippet that errors are handled but rest assured that they are.
