Joomla module form to submit to same page

Question

I have a Joomla module in an article. The module has a form, and when I submit the form I want it to reload the same page (and some PHP will take care of the form's new state).

Is there any way to do this with a module, without using ajax? Because at the moment Joomla throws a 404 and I can't figure out where the form is trying to submit to.

Let's say my page is http://www.example.com/payment

The form submits to http://www.example.com/404

This is my form:

<form method="post">
    <label>Order ID</label>
    <input type="text" name="id" value="<?php echo $_POST['id']; ?>" />
    <label>Email</label>
    <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $_POST['email']; ?>" />
    <input type="submit" name="login" value="Continue" />
</form>

I have tried having no form action, as well as:

action="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8"

action="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8"

action="payment"

action="/payment"

It always submits to 404.

The problem may be with submiting id via input, because Joomla uses id internally to find the correct route, so if you overwrite it with your request, Joomla will try to get article/category with unexisting id.

So, try to rename the name of the input with id and see what happens.
