Question : PHP error handling, how to add error text to html

I have installed a php contact form script that works fine on a static website. I need to amend the script below so that error messages are displayed in a html form as part of the website as oppose to just plain text.

How can I do this?

function died($error) {
		// your error code can go here?
                    ??I WANT TO PUT HTML PAGE HERE WITH ERRORS


		echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form your submitted. ";
		echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
		echo $error."<br /><br />";
		echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
		die();
	}
	
	// validation expected data exists
	if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
		!isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
		!isset($_POST['email']) ||
		!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
		!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
		died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form your submitted.');		
	}
