PHP pushing submit button takes two times to initiate code - php

Question

Every time it takes two clicks on the submit button to get the code to go, also just randomly it was triggering different codes that are setup the same way but with different names for the input and inside the $_POST. Am I using the $_POST right by setting the name of the input to the same thing?
here is the code
<?php
//If submit form was clicked
if(isset($_POST['intro'])) {
//Server side validation for security purposes
if($userpoints >= 100 AND $intro == 0 AND $lifeonmarsalbum == 0) {
mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE users SET points = points - 100 WHERE users.user_name = '$username' LIMIT 1");
mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE users SET intro = 1 WHERE users.user_name = '$username' LIMIT 1");
}
}
?>
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<?php
if ($userpoints >= 100 AND $intro == 0 AND $lifeonmarsalbum == 0) {
echo '<input type="submit" name="intro" value="100pts">';
} elseif ($intro == 1 OR $lifeonmarsalbum == 1) {
echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="100pts" disabled title="You already earned this track!">';
} else {
echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="100pts" disabled title="You need at least 100 points for this download">';
}
?>

Answer 1

You only output a name="intro" submit button when that first line of if() clauses is met. Most likely the first time you load this page, that condition isn't met, so there's no intro button. After the first submitt, the condition IS met, and you get name="intro" in the form, and the submit then "starts" working.
