There is a way to distinguish forms using
<input type="submit" name="form" value="form1">
to send data, in that way you can read $_POST['form'] value and check what form it is
If you want to send data without form you can use ajax with Javascript.

"I mean, you can use input without <form> and without standard form methods" that is invalid html, and you will have to ask yourself how browsers will handle that case and styling with css and javascript handling most likely it will work because most browsers are designed to display invalid html or fix broken/invalid html
– Raymond Nijland
Mar 24 at 22:50
@RaymondNijland - is it your intention to claim that the<form>element is the only one that accepts "phrasing content"? If this is not the case, your assertion that the html resultant from pavelbere's suggestion would be invalid appears incorrect. As stated at MDN, any element permitted to accept phrasing content can legally be the parent of an<input>element. Forms are no longer a requirement. ;) Buttons too, need only be parented by something capable of holding "prasing content"
– enhzflep
Mar 24 at 23:49
yes that direction i was going @enhzflep well then it seams that W3C HTML 5 specs have loosed up that, because it was first required you placed the input tag in a form tag before it was valid html, iam pretty sure of that.
