HTML form submit buttons
I know this might be a very simple question, but I'm not 100% sure about this topic.
When submitting forms, there is an exact value that needs to be passed to indicate that a certain button has been pressed ...
or can some value be passed relative to the name of the submit button?
Any ideas?
Edit:
Thanks guys! I found out how to deal with this problem.
Since variables are passed to servers and are pretty much open to interpretation, depending on how they are read by the server,
I just decided to check the data posted on different forms and just decided to simulate it.
Everything is working now, thanks for your help!

You must pass the attribute <input type="submit">
value
.
For example, if the user clicks the following submit button, the browser should submit GoNext=Next+Step
<input type="submit" name="GoNext" value="Next Step" />

You can pass any value, and you can check based on various possibilities if the form was submitted. For example, this is how we check php if a form has been submitted:
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="whatever" />
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
// form was submitted !!
}
