Ideas in this flowchart
- PHP program for converting Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius
- The conversion formula is C = (F - 32) * 5/9.
- The script begins with opening and closing PHP tags.
- Comments document the purpose of the script.
- A TODO comment can remind programmers about unfinished work.
- The program workflow consists of four main steps.
- Prompt the user to enter a temperature in Fahrenheit.
- Read the input, clean it, and convert it to a floating-point value.
- Calculate the Celsius temperature using the conversion formula.
- Print the Fahrenheit input and Celsius result to the user.
- The program uses one variable for Fahrenheit and another for Celsius.
- $fahrenheit = trim(fgets(STDIN)); then floatval() converts the input.
- $celsius = ($fahrenheit - 32) * (5 / 9) computes the Celsius value.
- printf() displays both temperature values in the final result.
- The full PHP program integrates the shell, input handling, calculation, and output.
