Answer 1

// index.html
<form action="lol.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="something"><br>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

// lol.php
<?php
echo $_POST["something"];
?>

a simple approach, if u want this to work idk if u can do it on sl but u need a web server either apache or nginx and php installed. another way without php is to use method="GET" but u have to parse url with regex.
if u change the form tag to <form action="" method="GET">, the form is submitting to itself. so the link will be blablabla/index.html?something=abcdefghij something like this and to get the abcdefghij u can parse with location.href in javascript
> location.href
// blablabla/index.html?something=abcdefghij
> location.href.replace(/.+something./, "")
// abcdefghij

EDIT: PHP ISNT THE ONLY WAY and if u wanna learn more about these backend stuff join this discord server https://cheeze.club/zvwr its easier for us to post code blocks rather than on q&a since they dont support markdown
