I don't think I understand your question, but let me take a stab at it anyway.
There should be no reason to pass along the mysql connection ID in a form as
it will be quite useless when the page is submitted because these connections
are dropped when your PHP program ends execution. You will need to make a new
connection to the database in order to store the entered values from a form
submission.
If I didn't get your question right, please be more clear about what you mean
when you say MySQLconnection string.
