PHP in $_GET command not working as a string

Question

I have created the following php

 <?php
if (isset($_GET["user_name"]) && !empty($_GET["user_name"])) {
        if(strtolower($_GET("user_name")) == "pulkit") {
            echo "Cool You are the Best";
        }
    }

?>

<form action="test1.php" method="GET">
Name: <input type="text" name="user_name"><br><br>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Now when i run the php i get the error :
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in C:\wamp\www\test\test1.php on line 3

Now the thing is the $_GET("user_name") is not giving the result as string. Why and how to fix it and get the username from the form. Any help would be apreciated

$_GET["user_name"] not $_GET("user_name"). Square brackets. — Rasclatt

Change this line

if(strtolower($_GET("user_name")) == "pulkit") {

to this

if(strtolower($_GET["user_name"]) == "pulkit") {

its not $_GET("user_name") its hase to be $_GET["user_name"]

Look your third line you have done a mistake while getting it should be like this

if(strtolower($_GET["user_name"]) == "pulkit") {
