The original patch worked, however I felt that it was poor form to have a go back button that took you back to the formulary page that didn't have any of the information that the user had entered.

install-php.diff solves that. If a user fails to enter an email address or enters an invalid email address, it results in an error with a go back button. Clicking this button takes the user back to formulary page, but it has the information that the user had entered original already populated in the fields. I believe this is better. This patch works for me.
