php - Multiple actions for checkbox list -

i have list of multiple items having checkbox each row (like gmail list of emails).

user selects checkboxes , press action button perform action on selected items ( delete example). list of selected items sent php file background processing.

but solution performing multiple actions on selected checkboxes ( instance, in gmail, delete, mark spam, mark read/unread etc..).

here have:

use different "submit buttons" each actions. give same name different values. check backend

for example,

html

<form action="backend.php" method="post" >     <input type="submit" name="action" value="delete" />     <input type="submit" name="action" value="move" />     <input type="submit" name="action" value="copy" />      <input type="checkbox" name="selection[]" value="value 1" >     <input type="checkbox" name="selection[]" value="value 2" >     <input type="checkbox" name="selection[]" value="value 3" >     <input type="checkbox" name="selection[]" value="value 4" >     <input type="checkbox" name="selection[]" value="value 5" > </form> 

php

.................. ..................  if($_post['action'] == "delete")     ....... else if($_post['action'] == "move")     ....... else if($_post['action'] == "copy")     .......
