The variable values are not included in $_GET you might find them in $_POST

<?php $variable = $_POST["name"]; ?>

Since you've used '$.post' you must use the related action which will be $_POST. If you were using '$.get', then you would use your current method of $_GET.

Use $_POST instead of $_GET...
