Description

Use an appropriate looping statement to write a PHP script that displays a list of the Celsius equivalents of zero degrees Fahrenheit through 100 degrees Fahrenheit. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, and then multiply the remainder by 5/9. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by (9/5), and then add 32. Use the round () function to display the Celsius temperature to one place after the decimal point. THIS PROJECT MUST BE COMPLETED BY FRIDAY, AUG. 27.

$f=$degree*9/5+32; echo(round($f,2));

That's a piece of it. But can you do the whole script where a visitor enters in a temp in Celsius or Fahrenheit and it gets converted to the other?

Hi Mike, Does this need to be done in PHP? Every time the page loads the request will be sent to the server which will have to process and calculate it - a waste of the server's resources for a set of data which will be exactly the same every time. Would it not be better for the freelancer to provide a static table of converted numbers in oC and oF (which is what the PHP code would generate anyway) and save your server's resources? Stuart

No, it has to be done in PHP where a person enters a temp in C or F and it's converted to the other.
