It seems you have 3 fields all carrying the same information - where to
go when you click the button. Could you do:
<form action="<?= $currentPage; ?>" method="post">
	<button type="submit" name="<?= $prevVal; ?>">&lt;&nbsp;&lt;</button>
	<button type="submit"  name="<?= $nextVal; ?>">&gt;&nbsp;&gt;</button>
</form>
and parse out verb & id from the name of your submit?
Cheers
Martin
