Getting values back out of a URL

I am trying to get my values back out of a URL that has been passed from a page with a form. Here's what the URL looks like. searchresult.php?number=01&owner=smith&Submit=Submit My mySQL query is working properly if I hard code a value in, but I can seem to extract the values of number and owner. Here is the code I was told to try previously: <?

     while (list($var, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
        ${$var} = $value;
     }

?> And here is my mySQL query: $parcel_query = "SELECT * FROM land01_02_03 WHERE (PelNumber LIKE '${number}%') AND (OnerName1 LIKE '${owner}%') "; If anyone could help me out, it would be really great.
