Well, I would include another hidden field and name it something like "ACTION". I would also include a checkbox on every item you want to do something with like this :
<input type=checkbox name="item[]" value="<?=$databaseID?>"> Then use javascript on your actions to set the action to whatever mode you need, for example "delete". On the PHP side you get a very nice workflow now, as you will recieve an array on all the items which are selected and you can perform multiple tasks at once. Example, publish n articles in one go, or delete all at once. Remember to valiudate the $_POST["item"] as an array! Remember, all the values in this array will be the onces you should $_POST["action"].
