A lot of unixes come with something like "db". db is an old text based database.
It does pretty much what a real database does, just using simple C routines.

The suggestion is: find something like that and then port it to php. Meanwhile look for another job where restrictions 'forbid to use xxx' do not exist. Unless this is homework.

You could create a customer database for instance by using the unix directory structure as the index.
Code:
mkdir customers
cd customers
mkdir cust1 cust2 cust3 cust4
cd cust1
cat "customer name" >name
cat "customer city" >city
cat "phone" >phone
copy /tmp/picture.jpg custlogo.jpg
mkdir purchases
cd purchases
cat "part number " >invoice1

You can "seek" customer name by
Code:
cat customers/$cust/name

You cal select all customer names by
Code:
cat customers/*/name >>selectlist
