If you don't mind assuming that javascript is on then:
one of these:
<input type='hidden' name='myfile' value='' />
and many of (assuming form's name is 'myform'):
<input type='submit'
onclick='document.myform.myfile.value="filename.txt"' />
-------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, assuming the buttons have the filename as their text,
just have many:
<input type='submit' name='myfile' value='filename1.txt' />
<input type='submit' name='myfile' value='filename2.txt' />
<input type='submit' name='myfile' value='filename2.txt' />
....
then $_POST['myfile'] should be the value field of the clicked submit
button.
