An Armstrong number is the one whose value is equal to the sum of the cubes of its digits.

0, 1, 153, 371, 407, 471, etc are Armstrong numbers.

For example,

407 = (4*4*4) + (0*0*0) + (7*7*7)

= 64 + 0 + 343

407 = 407

Logic:

Take the number.
Store it in a variable.
Take a variable for sum.
Divide the number with 10 until quotient is 0.
Cube the remainder.
Compare sum variable and number variable.

$num=407;  
$total=0;  
$x=$num;  
while($x!=0)  
{  
$rem=$x%10;  
$total=$total+$rem*$rem*$rem;  
$x=$x/10;  
}  
if($num==$total)  
{  
echo "Yes it is an Armstrong number";  
}  
else  
{  
echo "No it is not an armstrong number";

   <input type="submit" value="Submit">  
  </form>  
</body>  
</html>  
<?php  
 if($_POST)  
 {   
  //get the number entered  
  $number = $_POST['number'];  
  //store entered number in a variable  
  $a = $number;  
  $sum  = 0;  
  //run loop till the quotient is 0  
  while( $a != 0 )  
  {  
   $rem   = $a % 10; //find reminder  
   $sum   = $sum + ( $rem * $rem * $rem ); //cube the reminder and add it to the sum variable till the loop ends  
   $a   = $a / 10; //find quotient. if 0 then loop again  
  }  
  //if the entered number and $sum value matches then it is an armstrong number  
  if( $number == $sum )  
  {  
   echo "Yes $number an Armstrong Number";  
  }else  
  {  
   echo "$number is not an Armstrong Number";  
  }  
 }  
?>

Output:

On entering the number 371, we got the following output.
