Question

I have two forms : authorEdit and author Create. Those two forms are managed in a single controller. Each form has a submit button and the names of those buttons are not the same.

How can I check in my controller which form am I using regarding the submit button name?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You could use 2 different actions and then call a shared method.

/**
 * ...
 */
public function createAction()
{
    return $this->processForm('create');
}

/**
 * ...
 */
public function editAction()
{
    return $this->processForm('edit');
}

private function processForm($action)
{
    // ...
    return array(/* ... */);
}
