passing the value from a text box to a varible

Hi, this is probably a stupid question.

Im trying to declare a varible to have the value of that in a text box

when i declare the varible is there a way to give it the value in a text box called area.

i was trying the way below but it puts the word username in the database

$userName = 'username';

then in the form i used

<p><b>User Name:</b> <input type="text" name="userName" size="10" maxlength="20" value="<?php ($_post['$userName']) ?>" /></p>

doesnt seem to work thought
any ideas
