Could you not put the form inside an if/else statement? If the button isset, or if the name equals submit, then show it disabled. Can't think of a lot of uses for this, unless, I suppose, you want to have a page with lots of forms on it, and you want to submit pieces of information. It wouldn't prevent users from reloading the page and creating duplicate records.
