Yes, you can create a text based online game using just php. However, it is not recommended. If you need to save progress then you still need to utilize some database scheme, such as MySQL.

Pii is correct. I will now show you how to create one without mysql though.

CODE

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="?" method="post">
Command:
<input type="text" name="command2">
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['command2']) {
echo '
<input type="hidden" name="command3" value=".$_SESSION['command2'].">
';
} else if(isset($_SESSION['command3']) {
echo '
<input type="hidden" name="command4" value=".$_SESSION['command3'].">
';
}
?>
<input type="hidden" name="go" value="1">
<input type="submit">
<?php
if($_POST['go'] == 1) {
// begin game
echo $_SESSION['command4'];
echo $_SESSION['command3'];
echo $_SESSION['command2'];
//put game here
$_SESSION['command3'] == $_SESSION['command2'];
$_SESSION['command4'] == $_SESSION['command3'];
}
?>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope that helped! :)

Unfortunately though if you want it to be attractive, have a lot more functionality and draw more players it is recommended you have a basic knowledge of html, css (not essential but definately worth learning) and mysql queries (INSERT INTO and SELECT * FROM) and also have a good working knowledge of php. A lot of people recommend javascript as well but that's really only useful for additional aesthetics and not much else.

Just PHP no, but that is key for it though html very basic and mysql maybe some css skills will come in veery handy. Also you need your server and what not to get it online which im guessing you know :).
