Is it possible to save input data in php file without using any database?
Something like:
echo " inputted text.. ";
or
$text = "Text..";

Use fwrite, very easy :
<?php
$fp = fopen('myfile.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, 'this is my database without database :p ');
fclose($fp);
?>

I want <form> :/ And edit php file, not txt (And not all text..)

you mean that you want to edit a file.php using another PHP file ?
If you want to work with a form, and extract some variables into a file you can use:
Your Form in form.html
<form action="recipient.php" method="POST">
INPUT1: <input type="text" name="text1" id="input1"><br/>
INPUT2: <input type="text" name="text2" id="input2"><br/>
FILENAME: <input type="text" name="filename" id="filename">
<button type="submit">Send now</button>
</form>
Your PHP recipient.php - without any validation checks:
<?php
$varA = "\$varA = ".$_POST['input1'].";"; // put your string into varible $varA
$varB = "\$varB = ".$_POST['input1'].";"; // put your string into varible $varA
$fileName = $_POST['filename']; // set a filename from form field
$text = $varA ." ". $varB; // add all together
$filepath = fopen('/var/www/html/'.$fileName.'.php', 'w+'); // set filepath and fopen to new PHP-file
fwrite($filepath, '<?php '. $text); // write text as PHP-file
fclose($filepath); // close file
?>
If you haven't read about them yet check HTML-Forms.
You might also want to look into arrays and serialisation.
But apart from that I highly recommend to have a look into Databases (PDO) - it safes you time and is much more secure.
