Change the type to submit and give it a name  and remove the useless onclick and flat out the 90 s style uppercased tags attributes      lt input type  submit  name  foo  value  A    gt   lt input type  submit  name  foo  value  B    gt        The value will be available by   POST  foo    if the parent  lt form gt  has a method  post

Give them all a name that is the same  For example   lt input type  button  value  a  name  btn  onclick  a    gt   lt input type  button  value  b  name  btn  onclick  b    gt    Then in your php use    val     POST  btn     Edit  as BalusC said  If you re not going to use onclick for doing any javascript  for example  sending the form  then get rid of it and use type  submit

Keep in mind that what you re getting in a POST on the server-side is a key-value pair   You have values  but where is your key   In this case  you ll want to set the name attribute of the buttons so that there s a key by which to access the value   Additionally  in keeping with conventions  you ll want to change the type of these inputs  buttons  to submit so that they post their values to the form properly   Also  what is your onclick doing
