Yep, the form name is never submitted with the form info. However, the
submit button will be submitted along.
So, as an alternative, you could name the submit button in a way to
recognize the submitted form:
<form name="foo">
...
<input type="submit" name="fooSubmitBtn" ...>
</form>

To the best of my knowledge, the "name" attribute of the FORM tag is
never submitted with the request, whether it be GET or POST. It's
there for client-side scripting (JavaScript, etc.) only.
One trick that might help you - if your form action is POST, add a
querystring to the action, something like "foo.php?formname=foo", then
check $_GET['formname']. Of course, it might be just as easy to drop
in a hidden input instead.
Hope this helps.

I just noticed something a little odd, and maybe there is a simple
solution. Given a form;
<form name="foo" action="foo.php" method="POST">
The attributes, especially the name "foo", never appear in any variables
array. I am thinking that this might be handy to have for several
reasons when processing the form. I have several reasons for needing the
information, does anyone know how to get this in the processing script
without having to add hidden fields or do some Ajax magic?
