This script is basically apt for School / College students or Newbies who are willing to do the same kind of script which they learned from C programming.
All of us know Basic C program learners should be gone through this kind of programs pretty well, Such as Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, Addition, Multiplication, etc.,
So, This tutorial is about to teach you a similar kind of Program “Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius” in PHP.
The formula is pretty simple:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
<?php $celsius = ($fahrenheit - 32)*5/9; ?> |
This is not a Console program, PHP is a web programming language. So, to get the input, you should always use HTML Web Form.
Let’s see the entire script. Well, read the comments to understand what is happening:

<?php //get the value from the form after hit the enter button if($_POST){ //method="post" so we have to use $_POST //get the value from input field $fahrenheit = $_POST['fahrenheit']; //fahrenheit to celsius formula $celsius = ($fahrenheit - 32)*5/9; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in PHP</title> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post"> Fahrenheit: <input type="text" name="fahrenheit" /><br /> <?php //show the celsius after hit the enter button and the calculation if(isset($celsius)){ echo "Celsius = ".$celsius; } ?> </form> </body> </html> |

<?php if($_POST){ $fahrenheit = $_POST['fahrenheit']; $celsius = ($fahrenheit - 32)*5/9; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in PHP</title> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post"> Fahrenheit: <input type="text" name="fahrenheit" /><br /> <?php if(isset($celsius)){ echo "Celsius = ".$celsius; } ?> </form </body> </html> |
I have given “with Comments” and “without Comments”, you can take any one of the above code and paste it in your favorite editor then run the script. Enjoy the Day!
Thanks for this simple code….
