Mine looks something like this

$Submit = $_POST['Submit'];
if (isset($CCsubmit)) {
//////// DELETE
if ($Submit == "Delete") {
// Check to see if user authorized, then delete record
}
//////// NEW
else if ($Submit == "New" || $Submit == "Next"){
// Issue empty form or next record
}
//////// EDIT
else if ($Submit == "Save") {
// Validate and ssve the updated data. Reissue if validation
fails.
}
}
else {
// Issue form with initial data
}

You should also check in the Save option to see if anything was actually
changed. The record shouldn't be updated if nothing was edited.
