first of all I had a hard time reading your if statement,use switch next time.My head hurts huh

if you dont want to use switch just use AND/OR to combine all of them
In your html the p tag was not closed
Also the input tag close it

Modified
Where you have $ch3="checked.......
You missed the second apostrophe.

Your braces are killing...Use a better construct like switch...case

However, send us the error message, that can help us to help u

Thanks. The error was as a result of the apostrophe. you said something about switch. . . i would appreciate a sample of how I can use switch or AND/OR as per this code.
