pgp form handler will not display data

There must be something obvious that I am missing but I cant get the php
form handler with the script below to display the vairables. The form which
sends this data has the correct field names. I am also using the get action,
so I can see the variables and values so I know that they are being passed
correctly to the form. On submit, the form below displays as follows below.

<?php

print " the referring doctor is $referringdr .<br>\n";
print " the referral date is $dateofreferral .<br>\n";
print " the patients first name is $pfirst .<br>\n";
print " the patients last name is $plast .<br>\n";
print " the patients telephone number is $telephone .<br>\n";
print " the referring doctor email is $refdremail .<br>\n";
print " the upload is $imageupload <br>\n";



?>

output from

patreferhandler.php?%24referringdr=sample+person&% 24refdremail=sample@person
..com&dateofreferral=12%2F03%2F03&pfirst=clientfir st&plast=clientlast&telepho
ne=555-5555&imageupload=&Submit=Submit

the referring doctor is .
the referral date is .
the patients first name is .
the patients last name is .
the patients telephone number is .
the referring doctor email is .
the upload is


Thanks,

Better try to use superglobals like $_GET, $_POST or $_REQUEST.

Eg.:
<?
print " the referring doctor is ".$_GET['referringdr'].".<br>\n";
// etc...
?>
