Hi,

you should use the link functions of the TYPO3 Api. Just let the url 
generate by one of the url functions and send your additional data (the 
form fields) via post vars, with get params this won't work, because you 
  might have already an url with get-params in your action attribute.

Wich functions are availabel and which to use is nicely explained in an 
article by Robert Lemke, just look in the articles section on typo3.org.

To tell your script that the form has been submitted and it sould do the 
insert, you could pass an parameter with an hidden field like that:

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="insert" />

Then you just have to check if the parameter action is present and if 
it's value is insert. If that is true you can call the insert function...

Hope this helps,

Regards

Andreas
