verify form fields.

And another thing. You don't have to use isset() every time. Once the form is submitted and the field exists it couts as "isset", even of the field is empty. You could use this instead.

Untested but should work.
Place the PHP code on the same site where the form is. You may have to change the extension to .php if necessary. Place the code before any HTML starts, before the <html> tag. Now does it keep the visitor on the site when it detects empty fields and shows the errors below the "About?". You will see this code:
You may want to move it if you want the errors to be shown somewhere else.
Oh, and it's easier to work with logical post names. Meaning, for example "$_POST["name"]" instead of "$_POST["y0"]".
