Answer 1

If you want to get value in controller , You can use -

$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
$var = $data['input_field_name'];

Or if you want to get value in your template file than you can get it using following javascript code-

var inputValue = document.getElementById('input_field_id').value;

Answer 2

Probably you want to get input values in controller: You can use below code in your controller(which point your POST action):

$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
zend_debug::dump($data);
