Passing Parameters to Php/HTML

Newbie question on passing parameters thru URL

[kenchix1]

Hi, Im new here and so with PHP. I know how to use MySQL so my questions are mostly on PHP area.

I would like to have a form where people can enter their username and I will and return the items that they own.

What I know is:
First I need an HTML page with a form where they will enter the username in which I will put the code:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
 <input type="text" name="id1">
 <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Then, I will put the [mymodule].php in the "action" field.

Now, my problem is I don't know how I will parse/catch the data from the form so I can use it to process my query inside [mymodule].php. :(

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
