- google for a beginners guide how to use Wireshark and read !!!
- Install Wireshark on your client PC where you fill the form
(available for Linux and Windows).
- Start Wireshark, select the proper interface and start capture.
- Fill out your form on your web client and send it to the webserver
- Stop capturing on Wireshark and
- look/search for the packages who carry the information and see

Wireshark is able to decode a lot of protocols ...

- tcpdump is a online tool how capture and display the packages. But
you should only use it if you understand what you do.
- tcpdump can write all necessary packages in a file and later, you
can read and decode it with Wireshark.
If you want use tcpdump, you can do this on (web) server and/or web client, eg.:
tcpdump -i any -s0 -w /tmp/mycapturefile.pcap or
tcpdump port 80 -i any -s0 -w /tmp/mycapturefile.pcap # with filter

Please read the manual before you asking next!
