Multiple buttons but one text input html/php-CodePudding

So let's say you have a little form in html with a text input and a submit button, just like this:

    <html>
    <body>
    
    <form action="index.php" method="post">
    Text to encode/decode: <input type="text" name="textoencode"><br>
   <input type="submit">
    </form>

    </body>
    </html>

How would i add another button and index.php would know what button i pressed?
Also, what i'm trying to do is make the php execute some python code that i have in another file but i know how to do that already.

Edit: I would like my php to know what button was pressed, if encode was pressed, run some code, if decode was pressed, run some other code.

Let me know is it what you want?

You can simply add a one if in php and simple pass name in form when button clicked then code inside if condition executed.

PHP code:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['phpbutton'])) {
    // Your code that you want to execute
}
?>

HTML:

<html>
    <body>
    
    <form action="index.php" method="post">
    Text to encode/decode: <input type="text" name="textoencode"><br>
   <input type="submit">
   <button type="submit" name="phpbutton">press me</button>
    </form>

    </body>
    </html>
