Html form tag and action attribute:

Add following code into home.php

<form method="post" action="test.php">
     Mobile <input type="text" name="mobile"/>
                <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
   </form>

and test.php

<?php
   $mobile=$_POST["mobile"];
   ...
?>

Your source code must be surrounded by bb code tags. Read - How to use BB code tags.

Edit: Sorry but I was typing this when adatapost beat me to the answer by seconds.
Simply use action="test.php" in the <form> tag. Below is an example:

<form method="post" action="test.php">
<input type="text" name="mobile" id="mobile" />
<input type="submit" value="send"></form>

Then in test.php, to display the value use the following

$mobile=$_POST['mobile']; //retrieves it
echo $mobile; //displays it

Although you may want to modify the form a bit to suit your needs, the above is the basic code.
