PHP Web page POST not working after adding fieldsets

I made a very simple working PHP webpage to send a command string to an ethernet device. After I modified it with fieldsets, it wont POST the data anymore.

Here is the working web page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<?php

// Checks to see if button pressed
if(isset($_POST['input'])) {

// Assigns value of button press to $input variable
$input=$_POST['input'];
//echo "$input<br />";

// Open the socket to the IP address
$sock = fsockopen('192.168.5.30:4660', NULL, $errno, $errstr);

// Send the value of the button press to the IP address
fwrite($sock, $input);

// Display the response from the socket on the webpage
echo fread($sock, 4096)."\n";

// Close the socket
fclose($sock); }

// If input is not set, then wait
else {
   // Input is not set, do something about it, raise an error, throw an exception, or whatever


}
?>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Audio Control</title>
</head>

<body>
<form method="post" action="">
<button name="input" value="CL1I1O1T" type="submit">Input 1</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I2O1T" type="submit">Input 2</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I3O1T" type="submit">Input 3</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I4O1T" type="submit">Input 4</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I5O1T" type="submit">Input 5</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I6O1T" type="submit">Input 6</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I7O1T" type="submit">Input 7</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="CL1I8O1T" type="submit">Input 8</button>
<br />
<br />
<button name="input" value="DL1O1T" type="submit">Output 1 Off</button>
<br />
<br />

</form>
</body>
</html>

Here is the modified version that is not working... any ideas?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

$sock = fsockopen('192.168.5.30:4660', NULL, $errno, $errstr);

// Send the value of the button press to the IP address
fwrite($sock, $input);

// Display the response from the socket on the webpage
echo fread($sock, 4096)."\n";

   // Close the socket
fclose($sock); }

    // If input is not set, then wait

To check whether form is submitted you can use:

if (!empty($_POST))

To check a specific submit button you can use:

$_POST['input']

You have started a HTML comment before your CSS but does not closed it.

<style type="text/css">
<!--

Try removing it or completing it.

you changed the name of the button (actually all buttons).

<button name="input"

<button name="input1" 
                   ^

input1 won't get posted to php as $_POST['input']. you have to change all button names back to input.
