Create a FORM in your HTML and add some INPUT elements with a SUBMIT button. The "action" attribute of the form should contain the path for your PHP script on a server configured to run PHP. Check out this very basic tutorial from Tizag

This is utterly bog-standard beginning PHP/HTML, and you could've found it anywhere on the web if you'd just googled for "PHP introduction"

html file:

<html>

<body>

<form method="post" action="yourscript.php">
<input type="text" name="mytextfield">
<input type="submit">
</form>

</body>

</html>

PHP script:

<?php
    echo "You entered: ", $_POST['mytextfield'];

See the official PHP tutorial (specifically "Your first PHP-enabled page" and "Dealing with Forms") for all you're wanting to do here:
