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.
