How can dynamic buttons in a form send different data values based on which button is clicked in PHP?

When creating dynamic buttons in a form in PHP, you can use the 'name' attribute of the button to differentiate between them. By giving each button a unique 'name' attribute and assigning different values to the 'value' attribute, you can send different data values based on which button is clicked. In your PHP script, you can then check which button was clicked by accessing the value using $_POST['button_name']. 

<form method="post">
    <button type="submit" name="button1" value="data_value_1">Button 1</button>
    <button type="submit" name="button2" value="data_value_2">Button 2</button>
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['button1'])){
    $data = $_POST['button1'];
    // Process data for Button 1
} elseif(isset($_POST['button2'])){
    $data = $_POST['button2'];
    // Process data for Button 2
}
?>
