POST data in wordpress

How would I post data from one page to another in wordpress.I have tried with the following form : 

<form action="?page_id=25" method="POST">

but then wordpress says page not found when the form is submitted.I then changed permalinks to use %pagename% and still it didn't work,but when I use the url directly it loads the page perfectly.

Is there a different way to POST data in wordpress or is there something I should do so my pages will load?

EDIT

Full code used to submit form 

<?php 
    echo '<form id="submitForm" method="POST" action="' . get_permalink(25) . '">';
    echo '<input type="hidden" value="1" name="id">';
    echo '<input type="hidden" value="Test" name="name">';
    echo '<a href="javascript:document.getElementById(\'submitForm\').submit();">View</a>';
    echo '</form>';
?>

The generated code is as follows : 

<form id="submitForm" method="POST" action="http://localhost:8888/wp/?page_id=25">
    <input type="hidden" value="1" name="id">
    <input type="hidden" value="Test" name="name">
    <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('submitForm').submit();">View</a>
</form>

use 

  <form action="<?php  echo get_permalink(25); ?>" method="POST">

Edit:

Try Below Code , Wordpress has special meaning of name variable hence change it

    echo '<form id="submitForm" method="POST" action="' . get_permalink(25) . '">';
    echo '<input type="hidden" value="1" name="id">';
    echo '<input type="hidden" value="Test" name="Custom_name">';  // Change the name of the field
    echo '<a href="javascript:document.getElementById(\'submitForm\').submit();">View</a>';
    echo '</form>';
