Since the form submit won't inherently send the 'type' of the field that was sent, you could use a method of naming your fields according to the type of form field that was used. eg. <select name="sel_state"><option>... or <input type="text" name="txt_Name_First"> or <textarea name="tarea_comments"> Just a thought.
