Please help me.Thanks in advance

you can write an intermediate.php which decides which place to navigate based on the button clicked. Something like if buttonClicked = 'delete' then goto delete.php else goto update.php — Habrashat, Feb 15 '14 at 19:19

you should change the values of your buttons like this

<button type="submit" name="send" value="delete"> delete </button> <button type="submit" name="send" value="update">update</button>

and then at your "delete.php" page check which one of them you want to

if($_POST['send']=='update')
{ UPDATE table_name SET id='Your_ID' } 
else 
{DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id='Your_ID'}

I dont know how to port them to different pages directly without javascript, but you can check if the delete button is pressed with php like this

 if(isset($_POST['delete']){
     //Delete was triggered
 }
 else{
     //Delete wasn't
 }

with jquery you can also change the actual file. Like this

Jquery

$("input[type=submit]").click(function(e){
      $(this).addClass("e-clicked");       
}); 

 $("form").submit(function(){
        var vall = $(this).find(".e-clicked").attr("id");
        if(vall == "DELETEID"){
              $(this).attr("action", "deleteUrl.php");
        }
        else{
              $(this).attr("action", "updateUrl.php");
        }
 });

Refer this :

Multiple submit buttons php different actions

Put this script in your page :

<script>
    function submitForm(action)
    {
        document.getElementById('form1').action = action;
        document.getElementById('form1').submit();
    }
</script>

Modify your input code :

<input class="button" name="delete" type="submit" onclick="submitForm('delete.php')" value="Fshij" >
<input class="button" name="update" type="button" onclick="submitForm('update.php')" value="Update" >
