Can't get HTML and PHP to interact in phpstorm.
When you run html in a browser, the created form opens, which, after filling and submitting, must be processed in php.
But php does not take data from HTML.

When running the project through Open Server everything works fine

PHPStorm is a development environment. But not the code execution environment. In any case, you need to run a WEB server with a PHP module* to process your requests.
I advise you to read the theory about the full path of the request. (Client-server architecture)

You need to add PHP environment:
Download and add (Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP) interpreter.
Open files: right click -> Open in browser -> ...
PS But in general it's better to work with a local server.
