I am trying to create simple textfield using drupal6 with below code 

$form['foo'] = array(
  '#type' => 'textfield', 
  '#title' => t('bar'),
  '#default_value' => $object['foo'],
  '#size' => 60,
  '#maxlength' => 64, 
  '#description' => t('baz'),
);

by creating a page node with input format "php code", it creates well when I see preview it will not visible instead it displays nothing.

I am getting all text data but not php code written in( ).

Please give me if I need to change any settings etc...

All that you have done here is create an array describing the form data. You need to convert this array into a form and then display it.Try adding (below the array but still inside php tags):

print drupal_get_form($form);

The should output a form, but you will still need a way of processing the form. This would normally be achieved in a custom module, or you might want to investigate the webform module.

probably being caused by the $object['foo'] - try a string value here to see if it resolves the issue.

Sorry, that function expects a form_id (the name of the function building the form). To process the form directly you would need to follow a process of preparing the form and rendering it - basically the steps taken by drupal_get_form. I think you will soon get to the point where you write the form in a module and then call it using drupal_get_form.
