Checkbox not Posting!

This is driving me mad, I have included an extract of my code below (yes it is messy and I am mixing PHP and HTML for speed of development as I am on a tight deadline on this one). <br />
<br />
Basically this is part of an admin page which allows an administrator to edit the details of an intranet user, for some reason when I submit the form the checkbox value is NOT passed on to the next page UNLESS I make a change to either the name or branch. I can't work out why this is as everything else passes fine, it's driving me nuts! <br />

Any help would be great, I know it's probably something stupid! <br />

Justin.<!--content-->I don't really know anything about PHP but I guess that the problem is in it, so maybe this rather belongs to the server side scripting category?<!--content-->As you will see only a tiny proportion of this is PHP, hence why I posted in the HTML forum...<!--content-->try putting a semicolon after the echo statement? also on the next echo as well?<br />
<br />
or try putting the value into quotes...<br />
$active=="1"<!--content-->
