How to get the value inside a input name in html using php

Question

I would like to know how to get the value of name in input tag using php?

<input type="text name="x" value="myFunction(this.name)">

it should return the value of the name tag x im not sure about the syntax "this" if it will get the value of name tag which is x.

Javascript isn't executed in the `value` attribute, it's just a literal string. — Barmar, Mar 20 '16 at 09:27

For getting the value in PHP you have to make form, example

<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="field">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

then by post method of php you can get value . Example:

 <?php 
 echo $_POST['field'];
 ?>
