Of course, doing all that is contingent on being able to modify the HTML
forms, which, from your question, I gather you can't do. Your only other
real option is to look at what elements you DO get back, and try to pick a
processing routine based on that (e.g. if I have A & B but not C, use the
processing code for form 2). That's a huge pain in the butt, but that's
HTML for ya.

No. The option I'd use is to use different values for the submit buttons.
For example...
form for adding record...
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Add" />
form for updating record...
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Update" />
Similarly, you can add hidden form elements.
Oh, and of course, you can have the various forms be submitted to
different scripts.
Or... :) you can add a query string to the form's action...
<form method="post" action="script.php?source=firstform">
Enjoy,
