1. you capture the values from the form with $_POST/$_GET/$_REQUEST, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

2. connect to the database
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-select-db.php

3. Use sql query to insert the data to the database
