Logic -- conditional statements

Hi to all, I'm trying to echo a neat table with values from a form, depending on the values it echoes a table with one row with two or with three: Then I have conditional nested statements, to validate these variables and wrote the table with the proper values in each case, the problem is the table is displayed 3 times instead of 1 each time it finds a value TRUE! I need it to display only once, I mean in the first instance the table, has 1 row, the second 2 rows, the third 3 rows, and they are independent. The code is something like: //Value1 is always 1 if ($value1 == 0) { exit } if ($value2 ==0) { echo // echoes the table . . ."<td ... >$variable1 ... ."<td ... >$variable2... ."<td ... >$variable3 ... ."<td ... >$variable4 ... } if($value2 == 0) { . . echo // echoes the table . . ."<td ... >$variable1 ... ."<td ... >$variable2... ."<td ... >$variable3 ... ."<td ... >$variable4 ... ."<tr> /next row . ."<td ... >$variable5 ... ."<td ... >$variable6... ."<td ... >$variable7 ... ."<td ... >$variable8 ... ."</tr> . . } if($value3 == 3) { . . echo // echoes the table . . ."<td ... >$variable1 ... ."<td ... >$variable2... ."<td ... >$variable3 ... ."<td ... >$variable4 ... ."<tr> /next row . ."<td ... >$variable5 ... ."<td ... >$variable6... ."<td ... >$variable7 ... ."<td ... >$variable8 ... ."</tr> . . ."<td ... >$variable9 ... ."<td ... >$variable10... ."<td ... >$variable11 ... ."<td ... >$variable12 ... ."</tr> . . //and then closes the php script, TIA Regards, Rick
