Is it possible to create an HTML page without the use of MySQL?

Question

From what I have so far, I have an HTML form using method POST for PHP. What I want to do is automatically create a page using the input that includes a stylesheet and things that aren't in the form. I know that it is possible to create an XML page like this, as I have, but can you make an HTML page? Here is what I have so far, including the creation of the XML page and is creating an HTML page much like creating an XML page?

HTML form:

<form action="insertpage.php" method="post" class="form">
        Noun<input name="form1" value="" type="text">
        Adjective<textarea name="form2"  cols="40" rows="4"></textarea>
            <input type="submit" value="Submit">
        </form>

PHP creating XML file

$xml = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$root = $xml->createElement ('root');
$xml->appendChild($root);

$form1 = $xml->createElement ('form1');
$vtext = $xml->createTextNode($_POST[form1]);
$form1->appendChild($vtext);
$root->appendChild ($form1);


$form2 = $xml->createElement ('form2');
$advtext = $xml->createTextNode($_POST[form2]);
$form2->appendChild($advtext);
$root->appendChild ($form2);
$xml ->save("words/$_POST[form1].xml"))) or die ("error creating file");

This works perfectly fine, except I cannot find a way to automatically create an HTML page with the user input. Is there any way to do this with PHP because that would be perfect too. By the way, I know this method is terribly unsafe, and I am working on creating some security like captcha. Also if you can't do this with PHP, is there any other programming language that can do this? Thank you

Here's a pretty simple idea to get you started.

HTML Template: template.html (Very much trimmed down)

<div>
    <p>[[name]]</p>
    <p>[[email]]</p>
</div>

HTML Form:

<form action="whatever.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="name" />
    <input type="text" name="email" placeholder="email address" />
    <button>Create Page</button>
    <input type="hidden" name="create_page" value="true" />
</form>

PHP Script:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['create_page']))
{
    $template = file_get_contents('template.html');
    $template_vars = array(
        'name' => $_POST['name'],
        'email' => $_POST['email']
    );
    foreach ($template_vars as $k => $v)
    {
        $template = str_replace("[[{$k}]]", $v, $template);
    }
    file_put_contents('newfilename.html', $template);
}

Hope that helps.

It's worth mentioning that this is open to malicious user input, you should sanitize all the post data, this is just a very quick example.

只需将<?php echo $_POST['form1'];... ?>标记与<input>一起使用。
