if / elseif `isset` multiple submit inputs doesn't work

Question

I have several submit inputs (buttons) on a page, with the following issetconditions:

if ( isset( $_POST[ 'noranTelChecks' ] ) ) { // user requested noranTelCheck sheet
    header( 'location: noranTelChecks.php' );

  } elseif ( isset( $_POST[ 'juniperChecks' ] ) ) { // user requested noranTelCheck sheet
    header( 'location: juniperChecks.php' );

  } elseif ( isset( $_POST[ 'mpr95001Checks' ] ) ) { // user requested noranTelCheck sheet
    header( 'location: mpr95001Checks.php' );
} // close IF

But no matter what button is clicked the page is always redirected to the link referred to by the first IF condition. If I change the order of the links referred to, it is always the link in the first condition that the page gets redirected to.

What could be the problem with the above code causing this issue, as I have done this in the past on other pages and it has worked fine?

Answer 1

I guess your buttons have values set for example

<input type="submit" id="noranTelChecks" name="noranTelChecks" value="Button 1"/>

so you could use the value instead of name or id. The code would be as follow

if ( isset( $_POST["Button 1"] ) ) 
{ 
    header( 'location: noranTelChecks.php' );
}
