I haven't had any experience with switch at all, but I do have forms with multiple submit buttons.
I've been running things slightly differently: <FORM action="rap.php" method="post"> ... <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Names"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </FORM> Then rap.php has a basic if statement: <? if($submit == "Add names") { ... do this ... } elseif($submit == "Submit") { ... do this ... } else { ... they didn't click a button, maybe pressed enter, so there's no submit value ... } ?> Otherwise, the code you have below seems to be missing some <? ?>'s around the PHP, but it might be "psuedo code".
