PHP Script to Perform Simple Arithmetic Operations and Display the Result

1.1 Aim:

To develop a PHP script that performs basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division) and displays the results dynamically.

1.2 Course Outcome:

Understand and apply fundamental programming concepts in PHP to execute arithmetic


operations and generate output dynamically.

1.3 Learning Objective:

●​ To learn the syntax and basic operations in PHP.


●​ To implement user input handling and perform arithmetic calculations.
●​ To display the results of arithmetic operations in a structured manner.

1.4 Related Theory:

What is PHP? PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely used open-source server-side scripting
language primarily designed for web development. It can be embedded within HTML and is
executed on the server to generate dynamic web pages.

Features of PHP:

●​ Open-source and platform-independent.


●​ Supports various databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
●​ Provides built-in support for handling forms and user input.
●​ Capable of handling sessions and cookies for state management.
●​ Has extensive libraries for file handling, image processing, and encryption.

Arithmetic Operations in PHP: PHP supports basic arithmetic operations, which include:

●​ Addition (+): Adds two numbers.


●​ Subtraction (-): Subtracts one number from another.
●​ Multiplication (*): Multiplies two numbers.
●​ Division (/): Divides one number by another and returns the quotient.
●​ Modulus (%): Returns the remainder of a division operation.
1.5 PHP Code Implementation:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Arithmetic Operations in PHP</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>PHP Arithmetic Operations</h2>
<form method="post">
Enter first number: <input type="number" name="num1" required><br>
Enter second number: <input type="number" name="num2" required><br>
<input type="submit" name="calculate" value="Calculate">
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['calculate'])) {
$num1 = $_POST['num1'];
$num2 = $_POST['num2'];

echo "<h3>Results:</h3>";
echo "Addition: " . ($num1 + $num2) . "<br>";
echo "Subtraction: " . ($num1 - $num2) . "<br>";
echo "Multiplication: " . ($num1 * $num2) . "<br>";
if ($num2 != 0) {
echo "Division: " . ($num1 / $num2) . "<br>";
echo "Modulus: " . ($num1 % $num2) . "<br>";
} else {
echo "Cannot divide by zero.";
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>

1.6 Execution Steps:

1.​ Install a local server like XAMPP or WAMP.


2.​ Create a PHP file (arithmetic.php) and paste the above code.
3.​ Place the file inside the htdocs folder (for XAMPP) or the www folder (for WAMP).
4.​ Start the Apache server from the XAMPP/WAMP control panel.
5.​ Open a web browser and visit http://localhost/arithmetic.php.
6.​ Enter two numbers in the input fields and click "Calculate" to see the results.

1.7 Output:

1.8 Conclusion:

By implementing this PHP script, we have successfully demonstrated how to perform basic
arithmetic operations dynamically using user inputs. This experiment enhances our
understanding of PHP scripting, form handling, and server-side execution.
