Looks to me like they're still using the form to process info. If you mean
getting information into the various fields then you'll need something like
this:
<input type="text" name="sometext" value="sometexthere" size=30
maxlength=100>
The 'value=' bit will insert the information into the form field when it outputs
to the browser. There's similar constructs for every form tag available.
Find yourself a reasonable form tutorial and it'll no doubt cover this sort of
thing.
The php to do it is pretty much up to you - in the case of the site above
they're going away and reading the web site for you.

I guess you could. That's not the way that the web site you refer to is
doing it.
