what is probably happening is that your file, page.html is setting the
variable user_name to a value at some point in the script. The URL you
gave effectively is the same as making the first two lines of the file
read
$user_name='name';
$password='password';
Hence if a subsquent line in the script then sents $user_name to a
different value then this will replace 'name'. TGhis would happen, for
example if you read from a cookie to find out the name.
One simple way around this is...
if(!$user_name)
{
//code to execute if $user_name hasn't alread got a value
}
