not sure what you're trying accomplish here and this won't work because you have two request variables named "name"

but this is kind of how you would do this

 
<form action="profiles.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $name; ?>">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" name="submit_name"> 
</form> 

then to echo  on profiles.php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{
      $name=$_POST['name']
      echo "This is a profile of"; 
      echo $name; 
}
