I have a suggestion for you. Never post your username and password in a forum. :) You can still edit your post and replace username and password with null or * or whatever.
And also, fix your [code] tags .

And, the solution for your problem is, none of your code blocks are closed. if($selection == 'student') { is opened, but you have forgotten to close it after mysql_close($conn);

how will you do this, if you click on th radio button and press submit it will also get the input value in text form and find it in the database
Note: same php code in my first post Line 143-184

<input type="radio" name="person" value="id" />A student. Type Student ID here: 
<input type="text"  name="studentid" value="" size="10" maxlength="8">

When you click submit, all the form elements (radio, checkbox, select, textbox, etc) inside a form will be submitted to the script mentioned in the action of the form (if no action is specified, it will submit to the same script).

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
   print "<pre>";
   print_r($_POST);
   print "</pre>";
}
<html>
<body>
<form method='post'>
<input type='radio' name='person' value='1' /> Person 1 <br />
<input type='radio' name='person' value='2' /> Person 2 <br />
Name: <input type='text' name='name' /> <br />
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit' />
</form>
</body>
</html>

In the above example, you will see all the posted form elements. Do whatever you want with it! I don't understand what you mean by "find it in the database". If you want to search a table, then use it in the query.

$value = $_POST['textboxname'];
$query = "select * from table where user = '$value'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0 ) {
echo "Found!";
} else {
 echo "Not found!";
}

something like that ?

P.S. Its 1 am and I am going to hit the sack. Cheers!
