You have to send the data somewhere. You have to submit a form or at least use AJAX. — elixenide, Dec 21 '14 at 14:35

ASP.NET uses forms. There is no way to avoid using POST/GET/etc.

<?php
$news_text = isset($_REQUEST['news']) ? $_REQUEST['news'] : '';
?>
<html>
<body>
<form method="get">
    <input type="text" id="news"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

You have to send it to at least that same page to get a post value.

             $news_text = isset($_POST['news_text']) ? $_POST['news_text'] : '';
