Problem

I'm making a short quiz in PHP that tells you what creature your thinking of based on 4 yes/no questions. I have made it so that depending on your answer to each question you get taken to a different question, I did this using mainly switch statements. My question is is there any way that I can make a switch statement with the condition as the id from the submit buttons from the form? ``` echo "<form method ='post' action='Creatures.php'> <input type='submit' name='answer' id='1' value='Yes' /> <input type='submit' name='answer' id='2' value='No' /> </form>"; ``` This is the form I'm using to display the buttons, I have made it so that each button has a different id so at the end of the quiz, depending on what the id of the last button pressed is, I can display the right answer. Below is what I tried to do but it didn't work. ``` switch($_POST['id']) { case 1: echo "It's a goldfish"; case 2: echo "It's a eel"; } ``` Also these fields are the only ones which use id's throughout the whole web page, any suggestions on how I can get this to work properly, not necessarily using switch statements?
