Im not sure about the automagically assigning values to variables
If you make your form POST instead of GET the passed variables of the form
are not visible within the URL
In which case you would use
$password = $_POST['password'];
to retrieve the passed value of password
If you use GET in your form the values are visible within the URL and you
would use
$password = $_GET['password'];
to retrieve the passed value of password
