retrieving form values to create jira issue using Rest API

[Sumithra Sudhir]

<tr>

           <td width="150">Priority</td>

            <td><select id="priority"><option value="1">Major</option><option value="2">Blocker</option><option value="3">Minor</option></select></td>

 </tr>

<tr>

            <td width="150">Name</td>

            <td><input name="name"  type="text" /></td>

 </tr>

 <tr>

            <td width="150">Email</td>

            <td><input name="email" type="text" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

            <td width="150">Priority</td>

            <td><select id="priority"><option value="1">Major</option><option value="2">Blocker</option><option value="3">Minor</option></select></td>

</tr>

 I am using the Rest API to create the new issue in Jira.

$new_issue = array(

    'fields' => array(

        'project' => array('key' => 'somevalue'),

        'summary' => 'somevalue',

        'description' => 'Description of issue goes here.',

        'issuetype' => array('name' => 'somevalue')

    )

);

 How can I get those form values here instead of these hardcoded values?
