As a programmer I always learns how to apply my previous knowledge in other programming language before I wrote a program that will generate prime numbers in C and C++ programming language. The program works perfectly in my programming class. Recently I am more involved in wed design and development my main primarily language of choice in PHP so I have decide why not rewrote my code from C/C++ into its PHP equivalent here is it a prime number generator written in PHP.
As we know a prime number is a number that is divisible by one and only itself example of prime numbers are 2,3,5.7,11,13 and 17 etc. In this sample program I make a form which the user can enter a number and then their are two buttons the first one will check if the number is a prime number or not and the other button will clear the text box and the results in our webpage. I also incorporate autofocus as a function in my program this function is available in HTML 5 to make the cursor focus in our text field. My program will also display the list of numbers that are not prime in terms of their values.
I hope you will find my work useful and beneficial if you have some questions please send me an email at jakerpomperada@yahoo.com and jakerpomperada@gmail.com. People here in the Philippines who wish to contact me can reach me at my mobile number 09173084360.
Thank you very much and Happy Programming.
