I agree that in this particular situation, this would be a better way
to go about it...I was sort of experimenting to find out why things
were not behaving as I expected.

I check for the name of the submit button as a means of controlling how
the form data is processed.
In some cases I may have one script which handles input from a form in
different ways.

e.g. a web based app where data is saved with one form submit, and
another submit saves and sends a notification email.

But yes, for determining what form submitted what, a hidden variable
would work just fine.
