1 form & 2 submit buttons

I have a form that when a user submits, it saves their data and emails
their leader a notification. I want to add a new submit button to the
bottom of the form that, when clicked, will just save the data and not
email their leader.

I've done some research and I've tried the following:

In the view:
$form->submit(__('Save', true), array('name' => 'saveType', 'value' =>
'Save'));
$form->submit(__('Submit for approval', true), array('name' =>
'saveType', 'value' => 'Email'));

In the controller:
if($this->params['form']['saveType'] == 'Save') {
// do save functions
} else if ($this->params['form']['saveType'] == 'Email') {
// do email functions
}

However, I get this message:
Undefined index: saveType

And when I debug($this->params) this is all I get in the form key:
[form] => Array
(
)

Is there some alternate way of having 1 form but 2 different submit
buttons where clicking one button saves the data and clicking the
other saves and emails the data?
