I&#39;m creating a page with the products sold in the website. I&#39;d like to include an &quot;add to cart&quot; button near each product, which are listed with markup similar to this:

    &lt;h4 class=&quot;productHeading&quot;&gt;Product Name 1&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      Extra information on the product 1.
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;h4 class=&quot;productHeading&quot;&gt;Product Name 2&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      Extra information on the product 2.
    &lt;/div&gt;
     ...

Since the submit inputs will have different names (with the code of the product included), the big question is: should I wrap the entire product list in a form, or should I create one form for each product? In code:

    &lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process.php&quot;&gt;
      &lt;h4 class=&quot;productHeading&quot;&gt;Product Name 1&lt;/h4&gt;
      &lt;div&gt;
        Extra information on the product 1.
        &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit1&quot; value=&quot;Add to Cart&quot;&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;h4 class=&quot;productHeading&quot;&gt;Product Name 2&lt;/h4&gt;
      &lt;div&gt;
        Extra information on the product 2.
        &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit2&quot; value=&quot;Add to Cart&quot;&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/form&gt;

Or…

    &lt;h4 class=&quot;productHeading&quot;&gt;Product Name 1&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      Extra information on the product 1.
      &lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process.php&quot;&gt;
        &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit1&quot; value=&quot;Add to Cart&quot;&gt;
      &lt;/form&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;h4 class=&quot;productHeading&quot;&gt;Product Name 2&lt;/h4&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
      Extra information on the product 2.
      &lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process.php&quot;&gt;
        &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit2&quot; value=&quot;Add to Cart&quot;&gt;
      &lt;/form&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

Which one is best practice? Any serious reason not to use one or the other, or am I doing it completely wrong?
