php - Yii2 unable to get the submit button name in controller

Question

I am working on yii2. I am trying to get the submit button name in my controller. Below is my view

<div class="form-group">
            <a class="btn btn-default" onclick="window.history.back()" href="javascript:"><i
                        class="fa fa-close"></i>
                Cancel</a>

            <?php if ($model->isNewRecord && in_array(Yii::$app->user->identity->access_level,['admin','manager'])) { ?>

                <?= Html::submitButton('Add' ,['class' => 'btn btn-success','name'=>'a']) ?>
                <?= Html::submitButton('Add & Send Quotation' ,['class' => 'btn btn-info','name'=>'s']) ?>
            <?php } elseif (!$model->isNewRecord && in_array(Yii::$app->user->identity->access_level,['admin'])) {?>
                <?= Html::submitButton('Update', ['class' =>'btn btn-warning']) ?>
            <?php }elseif (!$model->isNewRecord && in_array(Yii::$app->user->identity->access_level,['editor'])){?>

                <?php
                if ($model->reqStatus==commonmodelsAccountant::$request_status_titles[0]
                    ||$model->reqStatus==commonmodelsAccountant::$request_status_titles[2]
                )
                {

                    echo Html::submitButton('Verified', ['class' =>'btn btn-success','name'=>'v']);
                    echo Html::submitButton('Not-Verified', ['class' =>'btn btn-danger','name'=>'n']);
                }
                ?>

            <?php } elseif (!$model->isNewRecord && in_array(Yii::$app->user->identity->access_level,['manager'])){?>
                <?php
                if ($model->reqStatus==commonmodelsAccountant::$request_status_titles[3])
                {
                    echo Html::submitButton('Signed',['class' =>'btn btn-primary','name'=>'g']);
                }
                elseif ($model->reqStatus==commonmodelsAccountant::$request_status_titles[4])
                {
                    echo Html::submitButton('Follow-Up',['class' =>'btn btn-primary','name'=>'r']);
                }
                else{
                    echo Html::submitButton('Send Quotation',['class' =>'btn btn-primary','name'=>'q']);
                }
                ?>
            <?php } ?>
        </div>

In above code there are multiple submit button each with name. In my controller I want to get the name of Html::submitButton('Verified', ['class' =>'btn btn-success','name'=>'v']); this and echo Html::submitButton('Not-Verified', ['class' =>'btn btn-danger','name'=>'n']); this button.

 if (isset($_POST['v'])) //verified
        {
            $model->load(Yii::$app->request->post());
            $model->reqStatus = Accountant::$request_status_titles[1];
            $model->callVerified = 1;
            $model->clientRef = 'CL-'.uniqid();
            if($model->save())
            {

                return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
            }
            return $this->render('update', [
                'model' => $model,
            ]);

        }
        elseif (isset($_POST['n']))//not-verified
        {
            
            $model->load(Yii::$app->request->post());
            $model->reqStatus = Accountant::$request_status_titles[2];

            if($model->save())
            {

                return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
            }
            return $this->render('update', [
                'model' => $model,
            ]);
        }
        else
        {
            if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->save()) {
                return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
            }
            return $this->render('update', [
                'model' => $model,
            ]);
        }

When I execute it. I am able to see the verified and not verified button. But when I click on any of them, it doesn't go to the if (isset($_POST['v'])) or esleif (isset($_POST['n']))part but hits the else part. This same thing I am doing at another controller which is working perfectly fine.

Update 1

As per scaisEdge comment I have tried to var_dump($_POST) and below is the result

array(2) {
    ["_csrf-backend"]=> string(88) "xS7Ctb2C677HKQJjoBL2SPznK3IHVGUDSn7MGhMs9SigHov36PSI7J9OewzkSJ0AzpBYN0A_KTIlEIZfd1qiYQ=="
    ["Bookkeeping"]=> array(43) {
        ["name"]=> string(5) "Laeeq"
        ["conNumb"]=> string(11) "03464394600"
        ["email"]=> string(15) "[email protected]"
        ["location"]=> string(12) "Amber Valley"
        ["reqConcerns"]=> string(22) "UK_limited_partnership"
        ["workStart"]=> string(21) "PROJECT_START_2_MONTH"
        ["businessName"]=> string(27) "Retail_consumer_merchandise"

        ["personalTaxRetHrmc"]=> string(0) ""
        ["mPaySlip"]=> string(0) ""
        ["mRtiPenRet"]=> string(0) ""
        ["annualAcc"]=> string(0) ""
        ["annualCorpTaxRet"]=> string(0) ""
        ["annualCorpTaxRetHrmc"]=> string(0) ""
        ["qVatRet"]=> string(0) ""

        ["businessAdvice"]=> string(0) ""
        ["fedTax"]=> string(0) ""
        ["provTax"]=> string(0) ""
        ["invPerM"]=> string(0) ""
        ["invPerMPrice"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add1"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add2"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add3"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add4"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add5"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add6"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add7"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add8"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add9"]=> string(0) ""
        ["add10"]=> string(0) ""
        ["remarks2"]=> string(0) "" 
    }
}

There is no v string in the above result.

I must be missing something that I don't know.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin() ?>

Are you using this, before starting your form and ending it?
