Equation

Hello people =)

Has somebody a nice script, which can solve equations ?
It would be super, if someone has an idea where I can get such a script /
code in php.

Thanks.

Gretting!

you're welcome :-)))

Big Thanks Pedro!
It's a great script =)

An Equation Script which can handle more variables would be better ;)

LOL, thanks

Yes, I'm pretty sure it would.
If you can guarantee the equations are normalized

3x - 6 = 0

instead of

4(x-1) = x+2

that makes making the solver script terribly easy for

a) ax+b=0
b) ax^2+bx+c=0
c) ax+by+c=0 (and) dx+ey+f=0
d) ...

Input only the constants ... not the whole equation;
for the equation above you'd input only: a=3, and b=-6

and then solve (after checking for division by zero only):
return -($b/$a);


or, for equation in type 2:
return array((-$b+sqrt($a*$a-4*$a*$c))/(2*$a),
(-$b-sqrt($a*$a-4*$a*$c))/(2*$a));

etc. ... ...



Happy Coding :-)

Hi Pedro,

you must be a very intelligent human =)
