Answer 1

I think you should assign to your submit button for each row the same name and a value related to the id eg: the index
<table border="1" cellspacing="5">
<?php
for ($index = 0; $index <4; $index++) {
echo "<form method='post' action='' id='myform'>";
echo"<tr>";
echo"<td><input type='text' name='name$index'></td>";
echo"<td><input type='text' name='email$index'></td>";
echo"<td><input type='submit' name='my_action' value="$index"></td>";
echo"</tr>";
echo "</form>";
}
?>
</table>
In your Server myRelatedAction.php you can easily obtain the index submitted
$my_index = $_POST['my_action'] ;
