flattery gets you everywhere - even if it isn't true.
I'm not that bad - but lets leave the 'great' for those that really are -
you know people who develop/invent the actual language - people who
write books about it, people like that :-)
oh and as long as it's php related make sure to atleast cc the list.

I assume that should be?:
<input name="member" type="radio" value="Yes" checked="checked"> Member

if $member containseither 'Yes' or 'No' then it will equate to boolean
true - which is what you are in fact testing
try something like:
if ($member == 'Yes') {
