Passing the hidden value

As seen from the code below, I have created an array ($criteria) and out of that array created the headings ($heading) to match the fields in my database.

I am trying to pass the hidden value ($heading) using the name=criteria (see code below)

$criteria = array("Independence","Participation","Self Management","Computer Science","Digital Literacy","ICT");
            $arrayLength = count($criteria);
            echo "<form><table>";
            for($count=0;$count<$arrayLength;$count++){
                if($criteria[$count] == 'ICT'){
                    $heading = strtolower($criteria[$count]);
                }else{
                    $heading = lcfirst(str_replace(' ','',$criteria[$count]));
                }

                echo " <tr><td>$criteria[$count]</td></tr>
                        <tr><td>Current Rating: $row[$heading]</tr></td>
                        <input type=hidden name=criteria value=$heading>
                        <tr><td> ". $this->createRatingButtons() ."</td></tr>
                        <tr><td></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr>";
            }
            echo "
                <input type=hidden name=student value=$student>
                <input type=hidden name=unit value=$unit>
                <input type=hidden name=formGroup value=$formGroup>

                </form></table>";

Looks like this –

Independence
Current Rating: 1
Separate buttons labelled (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) appear here 
Participation
Current Rating: 0
Separate buttons labelled (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) appear here 
Self Management
Current Rating: 0
Separate buttons labelled (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) appear here      
Computer Science
Current Rating: 0
Separate buttons labelled (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) appear here      
Digital Literacy
Current Rating: 0
Separate buttons labelled (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) appear here      
ICT
Current Rating: 0
Separate buttons labelled (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) appear here      

Buttons are created using the function below, which is called as seen in the code above.

public function createRatingButtons(){

            $result = "";
            for($count=1;$count<=6;$count++){
                $result.= "<input type=submit name=rating value=$count> ";
            }
            return $result;

    }

PROBLEM – When I click the button e.g. under Participation criteria, I press button no. 2, then I can pass the hidden value rating=2 (works fine as seen from the code above), but I also want the criteria for which the rating button was pressed, in this case criteria=participation – but it sends the following –

http://localhost/marking/index.php?criteria=independence&criteria=participation&rating=2&criteria=selfManagement&criteria=computerScience&criteria=digitalLiteracy&criteria=ict&student=Liam&unit=Flowol&formGroup=7.8

As seen in the link above criteria=independence and criteria=selfManagement etc are all passed! I only want that criteria=participation should be passed as I clicked the button 2 under participation criteria.
