PHP Is server side. The form data, until it is submitted is client side.
If you need to manipulate the form data before processing it (i.e for
validation, etc) you can either build that logic into your processing code,
or have the form call an intermediate set of code that does what you need to
do, and then passes control to the form processing code.
If you really need to work with the data before it is sent back to the
server, you need to look at a javascript solution.
