You could use a simple GET to submit the form. Make sure you have register_globals off though! Something like this: https://www.mysite.org/submit_form.php?user=me&client=bsd&browser=galeon The page that calls the above page would have to have form entities for the 3 fields. Then, on the submit_form page, you would take those vars and insert them in the database: $insert_user = $_GET["user"]; $insert_client = $_GET["client"]; $insert_browser = $_GET["browser"]; Obviously the user could easily change the values in the URL before they submit [if they look at the html code behind the page]. Like all form processing, you need to make sure that the values submitted by the user are valid. register_globals being off is a step, but there are a lot of error correction functions you should run before submitting form data into a db.
