you can use POST with some javascript tricks.
lets assume that you are going to you an image file to submit, then just add
a function andd call that function to handle submitting data.
here is an example:
<form name=TestForm action=test.php method=post>
<input type=hidden name=op value=5>
<IMG src=a.gif onclick="SubmitMyForm();'>
</form>
then define the javascript function named as SubmitMyForm
<script language=javascript>
document.TestForm.submit();
</script>
your form will be subbmitted just fine by this method.
