No, we do not know who wrote any of the New Testament gospels, because they were originally anonymous until attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later in the second century, however Philip and James were most unlikely to have been their authors.

There are non-canonical gospels attributed to Philip and James, but they were not the real authors.

Did Philip write a book of the Bible?

Philip is listed as one of the twelve disciples but as far as we know , none of the disciples wrote anything. The four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and were not written by any of the disciples, in spite of second-century attributions. There is a non-canonical Gospel of Philip but it was, like the canonical gospels, originally anonymous; in any case it is generally believed to have been written after 150 CE. This means that not only did Philip not write a book of the Bible, he also probably did not even write a book outside the Bible.

Did Matthew write one of the gospels?

A:No, the apostle Matthew did not write any of the New Testament gospels. The four gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Thus we only have the opinions of the Church Fathers as to who any of the authors were. Seeing a literary dependency among the synoptic gospels, they believed that Matthew, the disciple of Jesus, wrote the first gospel and that the gospels they attributed to Mark and Luke were based on copying and improving Matthew's Gospel. In fact, scholars now say that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events they portray.Scholars can demonstrate that Mark's Gospel was actually the earliest gospel and that Matthew's Gospel was largely based on it, with some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, as well as containing further sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Clearly, a disciple of Jesus would not have needed to base almost his entire gospel on these prior sources. Matthew did not write the Gospel of Matthew.

Which of Jesus' apostles could read and write?

Since the four New Testament gospels were all originally anonymous, we have nothing written by any of the twelve apostles, and therefore no direct evidence that any of them could read or write. Mark mentions Levi , son of Alphaeus as a tax collector, so presumably he could have been able to read and write. However, Levi did not become an apostle, so the author of Matthew's Gospel nominated Matthew as a tax collector in his stead. As the other gospels do not follow suit, and as there are other reasons to doubt that Matthew was a tax collector, it is unlikely that Matthew was literate.The apostle Paul, on the other hand, was quite literate and well-educated.
