<tr><td><input type="submit" value="SignIn" name="submit"></td><td><input type="submit"         value="NewUSer" name="submit"></td></tr>
</form>
</table>

Answer 1

value="NewUSer" in the HTML

NewUser in the PHP

• note the uppercase S

Answer 2

it would be better to use a hidden input field like:

<input type="hidden" name="thefieldname" value="thevalue" />

then you can use the switch statement like this:

switch($_POST['thefieldname']){
    case '':
       .....
       break;
}

Answer 3

To easily find out mistakes like these (NewUSer instead of NewUser), if the code is not working, first use GET method and check if it is working. If it is not, check all GET variables in the address bar. This will help to make debugging simple.

Answer 4

After a

header("location: ....

one should always use a

die();

to avoid having the rest of the script processed.
