Well you will need a database to store the conversations in, and then basically display them in a chat like way. It can be a simple form to add a line of the conversation to the database. Just search for "PHP Chatroom" or "PHP messaging".
I however strongly recommend you don't use PHP to do this. Really you want to be using AJAX which will allow you to view updated messages and submit messages without refreshing the page, while also gaining heaps of javascript functions which will make the whole chat system smoother and more user friendly.
