Look Vince if you want a form to actually submit the data the URL will
change to whatever is in the ACTION property. That is just how forms
work. If you don't go to the ACTION's url then the data is not
transmitted. Now as I said you can give the appearance that the form is
static by posting to yourself.
//quagmire.php
<?php
if( isset($_POST['times']) ){
$visits=$_POST['times'];
$visits++;
$msg="Welcome back, you have visited $visits time[s]";
}
else {
$visits=0;
$msg="Welcome to the Quagmire, press the Submit button";
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Quagmire</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"
enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<p><?php echo $msg; ?></p>
<div>
<input name="times" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $visits; ?>">
<input type="submit">
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Take care,
