Each input in a HTML form has a name.  For example:

<input type=text name=user_name>

When PHP receives the form submission from the browser it automatically
creates variables which hold the form data.  In this example, a global
variable called $user_name would be available to your form handling
script.

Your user name is <?php echo $username ?>.
