It is a fact: if the user submits a form with the return key, a submit button value may, or may not, get posted. So don't rely on the submit button. 3 possibilities: 1. If one of the buttons can be considered the "default" action, then write your logic as: if(non-default button) do non-default stuff else do default stuff If no button value gets passed, the default stuff gets done. 2. Again, if one button is "default", put a HIDDEN field with the same name and value as the default submit button just *before* the non-default submit button. The HIDDEN will always get posted, but will get overwritten if the user clicks the non-default button. 3. Write your logic as: if(non-default button) do non-default stuff elseif(default button) do default stuff else meta refresh redirect back to original page In the redirect, put a message asking the user to click a button, with a pause of 5 seconds or so.
