Too long code, didn't read it all, but here's a tip for you: Have two submit
buttons, but name them differently. On server-side you test which button was
clicked based on which submit was sent. (Of several submit buttons, only the
one that was clicked is sent in the form)
<input type="submit" name"select" value="select-a-mundo!" />
<input type="submit" name"update" value="update-a-mundo!" />
on server-side this code will tell you which was clicked:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['select'])){
// Now you run the select query
} else if(isset($_POST['update'])){
// Now run the update query
}
?>
