Hello guys, This tutorial is all about How to Create Simple Calorie Calculator Using PHP.
Determining our calorie will help us have a balanced diet and Calorie are essential for human health.
So let’s get started:
First create a class and name it “index.php” and add this code:
<html>
<body>
<center>
<head><h1><font face = "forte">Simple Calorie Calculator</font></h1></head>
<form method="post">
Gender:
<Select name="gender" ><br>
<option>Male</option>
<option>Female</option>
</select><br><br>
Age:
<input name="age" type="text"> yrs.<br><br>
Weight:
<input name="weight" type="text">kgs.<br><br>
Height:
<input name="height" type="text">cm.<br><br>
<br><input type="Submit" value="Calculate">
<?php
$age=$_POST['age'];
$weight=$_POST['weight'];
$height = $_POST['height'];
$calories="0.0215183";
$gender=$_POST['gender'];
switch ($gender){
case 'Female':
$gender= 655 + (9.6 * $weight ) + (1.8 * $height) - (4.7 * $age);
echo "<p>Your estimated daily metabolic rate is $gender </p>";
echo "<p>This means that you need rouhgly $gender calories a day to maintain your current weight.</p>";
break;
case 'Male':
$gender=66 + (13.7 *$weight) + (5 * $height) - (6.8 * $age);
echo "<p>Your estimated daily metabolic rate is $gender </p>";
echo "<p>This means that you need rouhgly $gender calories a day to maintain your current weight.</p>";
}
?>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>Simple as that! Go and test the program now.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this PHP tutorial cover?
Focused PHP language or library tutorial showing a single concept with working code. Use as a building block when assembling a larger system.
What PHP and MySQL versions does this project require?
Most projects in this batch run on PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2 with MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10+. A few older projects need PHP 5.6 (deprecated, use XAMPP 7.x). To run: install XAMPP / WAMP / Laragon, extract project to htdocs, import the included .sql file via phpMyAdmin, edit the connection file (usually config.php or db_connect.php) with your DB credentials, browse to the project URL in your browser.
How do I set up the database for this PHP project?
Open phpMyAdmin (http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ on XAMPP), create a new empty database with the name specified in the project’s config.php. Click the Import tab, choose the included .sql file, click Go. Then edit config.php (or includes/connection.php) with: ‘localhost’, your MySQL username (usually ‘root’), your MySQL password (usually blank for XAMPP), and the database name.
Can I use this PHP project for a BSIT capstone or thesis?
Yes, but extend it. A bare CRUD app is too narrow for full capstone scope. Add: user roles via session checks, reports/dashboards (Chart.js + AJAX), PDF exports (TCPDF library), email notifications (PHPMailer), real domain extension (analytics, audit log, multi-branch support). Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.
Why am I getting ‘connection error’ or ‘undefined function mysqli_connect’?
Three common PHP issues: (1) Connection error: Apache + MySQL services not running in XAMPP control panel, OR database name in config.php does not match what you created in phpMyAdmin. (2) ‘undefined function mysqli_connect’: MySQL extension not enabled, in php.ini uncomment extension=mysqli (then restart Apache). (3) ‘No such file or directory’: MySQL socket path wrong, use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the connection string.
Where can I find more PHP projects with source code?
Browse the PHP Projects hub for the full library (300+ vanilla PHP systems). For modern PHP MVC alternatives see Laravel Projects (74 systems) or CodeIgniter Projects (32 systems). For BSIT-focused capstone idea lists see 150 Best Capstone Project Ideas.
