I need if <input name="goose" value="hey"> and <input name="cat" value=""> display text:"you have wrote something in input with name goose and nothing with name cat"

Answer 1

To check if the user filled out more than one of your text input fields, you can for example do something like this:

// array with names of the fields you want to check
$fieldnames = ['goose', 'cat', 'kangaroo'];

// initialize counter of filled fields with 0
$filled = 0;

// loop over the field names
foreach($fieldnames as $fieldname) {
  // check if a value under that name exists in the $_POST array,
  // and if so, that its value is not the empty string
  if(isset($_POST[$fieldname]) && $_POST[$fieldname] !== '') {
    $filled++;
  }
}

if($filled > 1) {
  echo 'You filled more than one field.';
}

Answer 2

You forgot {}

First page:

<form action="changes.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="goose">
<input type="submit" name="do_change">
</form>

changes.php:

if(isset($_POST['do_change'])){
// that is the place where i need to place if(changes have been made in input)
echo "yeey y made changes";
}
