call like a FORM request

Hi

I am a newbie in php. I googled a while around but I don't get the right
information to solve my problem.

<form action="list_files.php" method="POST">
email: <input type="text" name="email" >
<input type="submit">
</form>

Is there any possibility to get my list_files.php called from an other php
script submiting the input parameter "email"? Could I do this only if I use
the "GET" method? If I have such a string how could it be executed?

A simple example how to call it would be fine.

best regards

Reimar

You can send the variable directly through the url string:
list_files.php?email=me@mymail.com
The variable will then be available to list_files.php as $_GET['email'];

Other ways to transfer the data is in a cookie or as a session variable.
