When you submit a form then the values of its buttons are not submitted with it. only value of button which cause submit is submitted with form. in above example if you click on add1 button only then its value is submitted with it.

there is other way to submit values like this use input type="hidden"

<input type="hidden" name="nametosubmit" value="your value">
