If the form information is passed along in the web address, then your form
would be using the GET method. The hidden field types can be used with the
POST method, but aren't hidden with GET because the information display in
the URL.

If you setup for <form> tags using the post method so that your hidden
fields is hidden, I still think you can get the "id" using $_GET['id'].
