Having the following initial value problem
with some mathematical computations we reach to an end that an implicit general solution of this pde can have the following form
if we had phi=e^(-x^2) for example,
I have been able to solve a similar problem to this but the genral solution was only a function of x and t, but here we have also u, so how can we possibly do that.

The method of characteristics gives the equations
dt/ds = 1, t(0) = 0
dx/ds = u, x(0) = x0
du/ds = 0, u(0) = phi(x0)
with solution
x = x0 + phi(x0) * t
Thus to get the solution u(x,t) in (x,t), you will have to solve
x - x0 - phi(x0)*t = 0
for x0.
The solution u(x,t) in (x,t) is then given by u(x,t) = phi(x0).
