Re: query string passing woes........ help... please....

If I use this in my html page will it pass the emailaddress to the php
page?

<?php
$passedemail = $_GET['emailaddress'];
?>

<form method="POST" action="contact.php">
<input type="text" name="passedemail" value="<?php echo $passedemail; ?
" >

Then on the php page could I use this?

$EmailTo = $_POST['passedemail'];


Is this going around my ass to get to my elbow? Sure seems that way.
But it doesn't work... so guess it's more like going around my ass to
get to my ass ;~)

My problem is (i think) that the query string won't pass to the php
page so if I bring it in the html page and convert it to a variable
can't i then send it to the php page? Am I looking at this all
wrong? I guess I'm just having trouble grasping the big picture here.
