Can somebody explain to me how to make a footnote in revtex4, so that it is placed on the same page as text and not in the bibliography?

Welcome to TeX.sx! If you are using revtex4 to submit a paper to a journal, then I don't think you should try to modify this: the footnotes are placed with the bibliography becomes the journal wants it to be so. Otherwise you can use the nofootinbib option (see the answer by cgnieder below). – Corentin Dec 15 '12 at 17:21
Welcome to TeX.sx! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a "thank you" in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Upvoting is the preferred way here to say "thank you" to users who helped you. – Martin Schröder Dec 15 '12 at 17:22

revtex4 has an option nofootinbib (presumably this will change all footnotes):

\documentclass[nofootinbib]{revtex4}

\textheight=2in %just for this example
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{book,
author  = "Arnold Author",
title   = "Book title",
year    = "2012"
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}
Some text\footnote{With a footnote} and a citation~\cite{book}.

\bibliography{\jobname.bib}
\end{document}

enter image description here

Yes,but I'm finishing my thesis that has been written in the form of an article.Is there any other solution to my problem within \documentclass[11pt,article]{revtex4} ? – Boki Dec 15 '12 at 19:08
If i use \documentclass[11pt,article]{revtex4} I get LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s): [article]. which means there is no article option?! Other than that: why not \documentclass[11pt,article,nofootinbib]{revtex4} – cgnieder Dec 15 '12 at 19:12
It works!(\documentclass[11pt,article,nofootinbib]{revtex4})I just hope it won't alter anything else in my work.Thanks,you've saved me from loosing few more hours. – Boki Dec 15 '12 at 19:34
