You appear to be confusing server and client-side programming.
If you want to run stuff on a website on the iPhone to save locally, you will have to use HTML5 and Javascript, and HTML5's feature for local databases (if the iPhone doesn't support this currently, it certainly will soon).
PHP will run on the server, if you want to save the data on the server-side.
If you want to run stuff only locally on the iPhone, then you'll want to look into XCode and Objective-C. The iPhone uses SQLite as a local database for applications to use.

Xcode doesn't work with PHP. Xcode is built to be used with in C, C++ or Objective-C programming languages. It doesn't matter in what language you wrote your server side code. On the iPhone, if you want to write an app, you'll have to write it in Objective-C

I'd look into web services. You'd write a server, that runs on your server, that takes the data from the web via a web service. You can do this in PHP. On the iPhone you would create a client for the webservice in Objective-C and Cocoa-Touch, that submits to the web service.

Sorry, no time, and no Mac at the moment either. Good luck. Apple have a lot of tutorials online.

Are you opening your webpage in Safari on the iPhone, or are you planning on having an application running?
If you have a server with a PHP application, why would you want to store the "display data" on the iPhone? Is this for offline use?
Users can copy/paste info to notes on their iPhone, though this is not a very handy solution.
If you want the phone to remember the data locally, you can set the expire header of your application to a date in the far future, but be careful as this has risks if you change data and the client doesn't learn about it because it thinks it has a valid local copy.
Also, read this (short) article about caching data with HTML on the iPhone: http://ajaxian.com/archives/html5-features-in-latest-iphone-application-cache-and-database
That suggests it is supported. But, I wouldn't know how. I'm sure google can help you there.

You could just capture the user's information in standard UITextField's and then submit the form programmatically using ASIFormDataRequest from the ASIHTTPRequest library. It's made specifically for posting data to a form.
