When you describe a problem, you should provide more input...
Minimal info required:

  Error Type, Error Value and Traceback!

  In your case, a bit of code had been helpful, too.

The following should work:

    <dtml-var expr="REQUEST.form.get('yourFormVariable')">

often (when there are no name conflicts), you can also use

    <dtml-var expr="REQUEST.get('yourFormVariable')">

or even

    <dtml-var yourFormVariable>
