DW crashes when I use PHP and HTML

Question

Hi, I need to use PHP with DW to validate a form.
However, when I use PHP with HTML DW crashes. I use a PHP
script to to select the correct radio button when the form is
submitted (see below).
It works fine in the browsers and I can even edit in Notepad.
I am not sure how to solve this - I altered the DTD from
strict to transitional (it didn't work). I am using the latest
version of DW CS3.
Any ideas?
