Get input field value without refreshing page

<form action="/action_page.php">
  First name:<br>
  <input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

I have this form. One text field and one submit button. I want to store the string that the user will enter in the text field in a php variable to use it later. Is that possible?

You could use ajax in combination with jquery if you'd like and pass the response from your request immediately to the input. Something like below:

$(document).ready(function() {
 $("a").on('click', function(){
   var inputval = $("#changeText").val();
   var postdata = {inputval: inputval};
   var url = "http://...";

   $.ajax({
       url: url,
       method: "POST",
       data: JSON.stringify(postdata),
       success: function(response) {
         $("#changeText").val(response.data);
       }
   });
});
