I don't have time to debug your code, but in this situation, do a
"view source".  There may be an error message that is printing out in
a way that it doesn't get rendered, such as inside a tag.  So view
source and compare against what you were expecting.

Another php debugging tip is to set the "error_log" directive in
php.ini to something like /tmp/php-error.log.  Then keep a window open
doing "tail -f /tmp/php-error.log".  That will show you php errors
right away.  Once your site is in production, you can check this file
now and then to see if your users are encountering some bugs you
didn't notice during testing.
