Regex radio button validation not working...

[jbdesign]

EDIT:I just figured out what my problem was... god I feel so stupid sometimes. Please feel free to delete this thread.

On the form I am making I am trying to require the visitor to select a yes or no radio button, before the information is submitted. Problem is the regex validation isn't working, they can submit without selecting either one. Here is the code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitted']) and $_POST['submitted'] == "yes") 
{ 
  foreach($_POST as $field => $value)         
  { 
    if(empty($value)) 
    { 
      if($field != "middle_name") 
      { 
         $blank_array[] = $field; 
      } 
    } 
    else                                                 
    { 
      $good_data[$field] = strip_tags(trim($value)); 
    } 
  } 
  if(@sizeof($blank_array) > 0) 
  { 
  /*Display error message if information is not entered*/ 
    $message = "<p style='color: red; margin-bottom: 0; 
                 font-weight: bold'> 
                 You didn't fill in one or more required fields. 
                 You must enter: 
                 <ul style='color: red; margin-top: 0; 
                 list-style: none' >";
    foreach($blank_array as $value) 
    { 
       $message .= "<li>$value</li>"; 
    } 
    $message .= "</ul>"; 
    echo $message; 
    extract($good_data); 
    include("lesson4_form.inc"); 
    exit();    
  } 
  foreach($_POST as $field => $value) 
{ 
  if(!empty($value)) 
  { 
    $name_patt = "/^[A-Za-z' -]{1,50}$/";
    $radio_patt = "/(yes|no)/i"; 
    if(preg_match("/name/i",$field)) 
    { 
      if(!preg_match($name_patt,$value)) 
      { 
        $error_array[] = "$value is not a valid name"; 
      } //end of name check
    }
    if(preg_match("/status/i",$field)) 
    { 
      if(!preg_match($radio_patt,$value)) 
      { 
        $error_array[] = "$value is not a valid status"; 
      } //end of radio button check
    } 
  } 
  $clean_data[$field] = strip_tags(trim($value)); 
} 
if(@sizeof($error_array) > 0) 
{ 
  $message = "<ul style='color: red; list-style: none' >"; 
  foreach($error_array as $value) 
  { 
    $message .= "<li>$value</li>"; 
  } 
  $message .= "</ul>"; 
  echo $message; 
  extract($clean_data); 
  include("information_form.inc"); 
  exit(); 
} 
else 
{ 
  echo "Data is all okay"; 
}; 
} 
else 
{ 
  include("information_form.inc"); 
} 
?>

I stripped out some of the other code that doesn't pertain to my problem.
