You can't place it inside the input.

You can use absolute positioning inside a container to place it on top of the input:

 .input-container { position: relative; display: inline-block; } .input-container .error { font-size: 14px; color: red; position: absolute; right: 5px; top: 5px; font-style: italic; } label { display: inline-block; margin-right: 15px; } input[type="text"] { width: 300px; height: 40px; padding: 5px 15px; }

 <form method="post"> <div class="field-container"> <label for="name">Name *</label> <div class="input-container"> <input id="name" type="text" name="name" value="" /> <span class="error">* This field should not be empty</span> </div> </div> <!-- repeat for other fields --> </form>

If you only want to show the error when there is one:

<?php if (isset($_POST['name']) && strlen($nameErr) > 0): ?>
    <span class="error"><?php echo $nameErr; ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

Here I assume the variable is an empty string when there is no error.
