What does the name part do in the html text type

Question

So my script looks like this
<input type="text" name="example" />
the name does not come up.
Why?

Answer 1

It shouldn't show nothing, one of the main purposes of the 'name' attribute is to build the actual request that you're going to work with through a server-side language such as PHP or Python, so that you can easily access the data you sent and use them from a server perspective.
