It sounds like you're trying to mix GET and POST. I believe this is what
you're looking for, from the CGI documentation:
MIXING POST AND URL PARAMETERS
$color = url_param('color');
It is possible for a script to receive CGI parameters in the URL as
well as in the fill-
out form by creating a form that POSTs to a URL containing a query
string (a "?" mark fol‐
lowed by arguments). The param() method will always return the
contents of the POSTed
fill-out form, ignoring the URL's query string. To retrieve URL
parameters, call the
url_param() method. Use it in the same way as param(). The main
difference is that it
allows you to read the parameters, but not set them.
Under no circumstances will the contents of the URL query string
interfere with similarly-
named CGI parameters in POSTed forms. If you try to mix a URL query
string with a form
submitted with the GET method, the results will not be what you
expect.
The last sentence is important as well, because you're providing the browser
with a URL that has a query string, and asking it to submit a form with the
GET method. This will cause the browser to replace the existing query
string with a new query string.
Have you considered using hidden input fields to pass your 'next' and 'sid'
parameters? That way they will be passed with the rest of the data.
