Getting end result of URL

So I've seen other posts that show how to do this, but only with "clean" URLs like example.com/this/this, what I want to do I get the username from this URL example.com/profile.php?username=joe So that I'd end up getting say Joe as a result. Any ideas?

When you see a url string line the following

profile.php?user=foo&name=bar

You can access the parameters after the ?. They will be stored in the $_GET array. The ampersand is the separator of variable name and value pairs. In this case: user=foo, the variable name is on the left side, of the seperator '=', user accessed by $_GET['user'] and the value of an echo would be foo.

You have to write like 

if(isset($_GET['username']) && $_GET['username']!="")
{
  echo $_GET['username'];
}

Just echo your $_GET value like so:

echo $_GET['username'];

It will return:

joe
