submit form within while php loop

Question

I´m trying to run my code here but when i press on Send button it both somehow runs both Approve and Send. I think this is happening since this is inside a while loop, but i want only to execute Send function when it´s presend and same thing with Approve. All suggestions are welcome.

Cheerz! ;)

<?php 
//0 = No presentation
//1 = Presentation under review
//2 = Presentation approved
//3 = Presentation declined

//GET ALL PRESENTATIONS WHICH NEEDS TO BE APPROVED APPROVED
while($presentation_unapproved = mysql_fetch_array($approve_presentation)){

$display_user_id_presentation = mysql_real_escape_string($presentation_unapproved['profile_user_id']);
$display_presentation_id = mysql_real_escape_string($presentation_unapproved['profileid']);
//Här går vi in i users tabellen och hämtar all nödvändig information om själva användaren
$who_is_user_unapp = mysql_query("SELECT id, s_id, user_name, gender, user_age, profile_image_url, country FROM users WHERE id='$display_user_id_presentation'");
$who_is_user_show_unapp = mysql_fetch_array($who_is_user_unapp);

if (isset($_POST[$presentation_unapproved['profileid']]) == 'Send') 
            {
                $what_reason = $_POST['decline_reason'];
                echo $what_reason;
            }

//Approve presentation
    if (isset($_POST[$presentation_unapproved['profileid']]) == 'Approve') 
            {
                //$presid_number = mysql_real_escape_string($presentation_unapproved['profileid']);
                //mysql_query("UPDATE profile_info SET profile_text_approved='2' WHERE profileid='$presid_number'");
                //header('Location: '.selfURL());       
                echo "this should not be output";
            }


?>

This isn't doing what you think:

isset($_POST[$presentation_unapproved['profileid']]) == 'Approve'

isset in this case is returning a bool, so if it has anything at all, I imagine it's returning true, which you then == to 'Approve' which is probably "logically" true.

You probably want to check that it's set at all (once), and then change behavior based on a string compare. So, something like so:

if (isset($_POST[$presentation_unapproved['profileid']])) {
  if (strcmp($_POST[$presentation_unapproved['profileid'], "Send") {
    ...
  } else if (strcmp($_POST[$presentation_unapproved['profileid'], "Approve") {
    ....
  }
}
