php - How can you determine which submit button was pressed, when the name attributes are in an array? -

    echo "<form action='edit.php' method='post'>";       while ($display = mysqli_fetch_assoc($newarticles)) {                           ....         echo "<input type='submit' class='col-sm-offset-5 btn btn-default' name='delete[]' value='delete article'>" .              "<input type='submit' class='col-sm-offset-1 btn btn-default' name='edit[]' value='edit article'>" ."<br/>"                           ....       }       echo "</form> 

after iterations finished end several panels have both delete , edit buttons inside. searching solutions on how distinguish between names, , found add them in array. have unique values of name attributes. here comes question - how can determine 1 of them pressed? should go different approach?

p.s. new php excuse me bad formatting , coding.

when clicking on submit-button, clicked submit-button sent post-request php (the server). therefore keep same name (no array) on submit-buttons , check button has been sent checking value of submit-button.

something like:

<?php if ($_post['submitaction'] == 'delete article') {     //action delete }  if ($_post['submitaction'] == 'edit article')  {     //action edit }   //your code    echo "<form action='edit.php' method='post'>";       while ($display = mysqli_fetch_assoc($newarticles)) {                           ....         echo "<input type='submit' class='col-sm-offset-5          btn btn-default' name='submitaction' value='delete article'>" .              "<input type='submit' class='col-sm-offset-1 btn          btn-default' name='submitaction' value='edit article'>" ."<br/>"                           ....       }       echo "</form>
