Mostly, although it's common to:
A) Name several "submit" buttons the same, say $action, and the use the
value of $action (the text from the button) to decide what to do in your
script
B) Name multiple checkboxes as NAME=foo[] and then you have an array $foo in
your processing script
C) Name all radio buttons in a single group the same, since that's pretty
much the only way to get them to be radio buttons.

Yes.

A single SUBMIT button can only return one (1) form.
A single form might have multiple SUBMIT buttons.
A single page might have multiple FORMs.
Depends on how you want to design your pages and what makes it easiest for
you to navigate and write organized PHP code.
