I heard the exam committee was trying to stump the candidates with a 'trick question', but they ended up tripping over their own feet. Guess they need to work on their HTML-PHP integration skills.

That makes sense. It's important to properly name and assign values to the buttons for PHP to determine which one was clicked.

I think the answer is D) Assign name and value attributes to each button and use $_GET or $_POST to find out which button has been clicked.

Option B seems logical, but why would we want to use JavaScript when we can do it all with PHP? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Using JavaScript might be unnecessary in this case. PHP can handle it just fine.

I'm pretty sure Option C is correct. Putting the buttons in separate forms with the same name should work, right? Gotta love those workarounds!

Option D is the correct answer. Assigning unique names and values to the submit buttons allows you to easily identify which one was clicked using PHP's superglobal arrays.
