IIRC you have to use something like $submit_x && $submit_y, which is a bit
more longwinded.
Since I have started using buttons for submit, I now put a hidden field
called formname inside each form,and chekc for that and that the method of
the form is correct.
It makes it a little bit easier if you have more than one form per page.
