Rather than using forms to pass information to a script you should
consider using sessions instead.
In any case if you are going to use forms instead of appending the
information to the form action use the input type=hidden field.
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="change">
This keeps your form action clean and it also allows you to cleanly use
POST instead of GET.
