From my understanding your form will use the "action" and "method" to determine
where it is sending the information and if it's sending the form values in $_GET
or $_POST.
You normally have a single submit button for a form, that follows the action and
method you defined for it. If you have choices to make, you would typically use
check boxes or radio buttons for that. Not sure if you can use multiple submit
buttons on the same form.
If you wanted to limit to one author, maybe try using a radio button with the
same name but different values...
<input type="radio" name="delete_author" value-"100"> Author #1
<input type="radio" name="delete_author" value-"200"> Author #2
<input type="radio" name="delete_author" value-"300"> Author #3
<input type="radio" name="delete_author" value-"400"> Author #4
that way only one can be selected at a time. Then you can use one submit button.
