Pulling variables from a URL

I have a URL including variables... It looks like this: http://registration.php?username=111111&email=test@test.com But I can't pullit into the next page's form Here is what is in the form and other things I have tried: $username = $_HTTP_POST_VARS['username']; echo $_GET['$username']; echo $_POST['$username']; This page sumbits with PHP_SELF if that helps with this puzzle. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Also I do have an include file that looks for session information but Ihave disabled it to see if I can pass variables.
