You should use Zend Form (not PHP form), it should be standard except in some special cases.

If you really want to use plain html forms you should at least consider Zend_Filter_Input for filtering/validation the userinput. 

$filters = array('body' => array('StringTrim' , 'StripTags'));
$validators = array('body' => 'Alpha');

if (!$this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
    // display form;
    return;
}

$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $this->getRequest()->getParams());

if (!$input->isValid()) {
    // failed validation
    $this->view->messages = $input->getMessages();
    // redisplay form and show error messages
    return;
}

// form is valid, values are filtered 
echo $input->body

You can use normal HTML forms. Some code snippets for your controller:

// Get all params (Notice: including URL params)
$this->getRequest()->getParams();

// Get single param
$this->getRequest()->getParam('paramName');

// Check if post
$this->getRequest()->isPost();

Just create your form like you would normally but in your view file (index.phtml for example). It will work. Nothing special to do just open a <form> tag and start coding.
