Getting Started
To improve the visual of this tutorial, I've used CDN for Bootstrap so you need internet connection for it to work.
Creating our Class
First, we are going to create our class and we're going to name this as Converter.php.
In this class we have define our array of rates and the different methods.
Creating our Convert Form
Next step is to create our form that converts our set amount from one currency to another.
In here, we fetch our rates and we put them as options in our select tag.
Creating our Convert Action
Lastly, we create our PHP code to convert the amount.
That ends this tutorial. Happy coding :)

To improve the visual of this tutorial, I've used CDN for Bootstrap so you need internet connection for it to work.
Creating our Class
First, we are going to create our class and we're going to name this as Converter.php.
- <?php
- class
Converter{
- private
$rateValue
;
- //I have base these rates on USD :)
- private
$rates
=
[
- 'USD'
=>
1.0
,

- 'EUR'
=>
0.800284
,
- 'YEN'
=>
109.67
,
- 'CAN'
=>

- 'PHP'

;
- public
function
setConvert(
$amount
,
$currency_from
)
{
- $this
->
rateValue
=
$amount
/
$this
->
rates
[
$currency_from
]
;
- }
- public
function
getConvert(
$currency_to
)
{
- return
round
(
$this
->
rates
[
$currency_to
]
*
$this
->
rateValue
,
2
)
;
- }
- public
function
getRates(
)
{
- return
$this
->
rates
;
- }
- }
- ?>
In this class we have define our array of rates and the different methods.
Creating our Convert Form
Next step is to create our form that converts our set amount from one currency to another.
- <?php
- session_start
(
)
;
- include_once
(
'Converter.php'
)
;
- $converter
=
new
Converter(
)
;
- $rates
=
$converter
->
getRates
(
)
;
- ?>

- <div class="form-group">
- <label>Amount:</label>
- <input type="text" class="form-control" name="amount">
- </div>
- <div class="form-group">
- <label>From:</label>
- <select class="form-control" name="currency_from">
- <?php
- foreach
(
$rates

{

- <option value="<?php
echo

?>

echo

</option>
- <?php

- ?>
- </select>
- </div>
- <div class="form-group">

- <select class="form-control" name="currency_to">
- <?php

echo

</option>
- <?php
- }
- ?>
- </select>
- </div>
- <button type="submit" name="convert" class="btn btn-primary">Convert</button>
- </form>
- <?php
- if
(
isset
(
$_SESSION
[
'value'
]
)
)
{
- ?>
- <div class="alert alert-info text-center" style="margin-top:20px;">
- <?php
- echo
$_SESSION
[
'value'
]
[
'amount'
]
.
' '
.
$_SESSION
[
'value'
]
[
'from'
]
.
' is equal to '
.
$_SESSION
[
'value'
]
[
'result'
]
.
' '
.
$_SESSION
[
'value'
]
[
'to'
]
;
- ?>
- </div>
- <?php
- unset
(
$_SESSION
[
'value'
]
)
;
- }
- ?>
- </div>
- </div>
- </div>
- </body>
- </html>
In here, we fetch our rates and we put them as options in our select tag.
Creating our Convert Action
Lastly, we create our PHP code to convert the amount.
- <?php
- session_start
(
)
;
- require_once
(
'Converter.php'
)
;
- if
(
isset
(
$_POST
[
'convert'
]
)
)
{
- $amount
=
$_POST
[
'amount'
]
;
- $currency_from
=
$_POST
[
'currency_from'
]
;
- $currency_to
=
$_POST
[
'currency_to'
]
;
- $converter
=
new
Converter(
)
;
- $converter
->
setConvert
(
$amount
,
$currency_from
)
;
- $result
=
$converter
->
getConvert
(
$currency_to
)
;
- $out
=
array
(
)
;
- $out
[
'amount'
]
=
$amount
;
- $out
[
'from'
]
=
$currency_from
;
- $out
[
'result'
]
=
$result
;
- $out
[
'to'
]
=
$currency_to
;
- $_SESSION
[
'value'
]
=
$out
;
- header
(
'location:index.php'
)
;
- }
- else
{
- header
(
'location:index.php'
)
;
- }
- ?>
That ends this tutorial. Happy coding :)
