I might be misunderstanding the question but I think you are saying you have 'form.cgi?enter=car' that has an html form on it that submits to another file (form2.cgi) But you want enter=car to go in the database as well, is that right? Just put db code into form.cgi as well. If you really want to submit it to the database in form2.cgi, here is one way to do it: put it into a hidden field in form.cgi. It might sound like its a bad idea, but really its a horrible idea. form.cgi: 

<FORM>
<INPUT NAME="newField1">
<INPUT NAME="newFIeld2">
<INPUT NAME="enter" VALUE="car">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
