    PHP cannot access your DOM directly. PHP only runs on the server and simply receives requests and gives responses.

    After submitting this form to its action page ./form.php, the values ​​entered into the form will be stored in $_POST with the key name of its name Attributes. In your HTML code, add the name attribute to the input tag like this: 

    <form action="./form.php" method="post">
    <div name="name"><input type="text" name="name"></div>
    <div name="surname"><input type="text" name="surname"></div>
</form>

    Now, if I submit this form and enter Zachary in the name input tag and Taylor in the surname input tag, I can get those values ​​like this:

    In the ./form.php file:

    $name = $_POST['name']; // "Zachary"

    $surname = $_POST['surname']; // "Taylor"

    To verify that there was any input first, use: isset($_POST['key']), because sometimes the input value is not even sent to the action page when it is null. This prevents PHP from throwing an error when referencing a non-existent $_POST key.

    To get the posted data from the submitted form, you can use $_POST['fieldname'] to achieve this.

    Just try the following and see what you get after the form is submitted. 

    //echo "<pre>";
//print_r($_POST);

    Uncomment the two lines above, see what you get, and then comment them out again. 

    if( isset($_POST['name']) )
{
    $name = $_POST['name'];
}
if( isset($_POST['surname']) )
{
    $surname = $_POST['surname'];
}
if( isset($_POST['subject']) )
{
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
}
