I read $_POST is empty after form submission topic and I wondered how to get the data from input without attribute name?
<input type="text" >
var_dump($_REQUEST)//empty
var_dump(file_get_contents('php://input')) //empty

6If an HTML `` doesn't have a `name` it won't be passed to the querystring or the POST data - there will be no way to retrieve it from PHP. – Oct 16 '13 at 20:09

Basically, the form should be specified its name. If not, you cannot get it from the server-side.
However, the form without name is also valid in HTML5. The reason is that you might sometimes want to use for form submission via AJAX or Javascript app. In many cases
