HTML of the buttons:

<input type="image" src="delete.gif" name="delete">
<input type="image" src="edit.gif" name="edit">


Then in the form handling script:

if(isset($_POST['delete_x']) && isset($_POST['delete_y']) {
// delete
}


if(isset($_POST['edit_x']) && isset($_POST['edit_y']) {
// edit
}


If every browser was standards compliant, you could use:

<input type="image" src="delete.gif" name="action" value="delete">
<input type="image" src="edit.gif" name="action" value="edit">

switch($_POST['action']) {
case 'delete':
// delete
break;
case 'edit':
// edit
break;
}
