Subtraction of two numbers 30 and 15 is shown.

By inserting values in the form two numbers can be subtracted.

<html>  
<body>  
<form method="post">  
Enter First Number:  
<input type="number" name="number1" /><br><br>  
Enter Second Number:  
<input type="number" name="number2" /><br><br>  
<input  type="submit" name="submit" value="Subtract">  
</form>  
<?php  
    if(isset($_POST['submit']))  
    {  
        $number1 = $_POST['number1'];  
        $number2 = $_POST['number2'];  
        $sum =  $number1-$number2;   
        echo "The difference of $number1 and $number2 is: ".$sum;  
    }  
?>  
</body>  
</html>

@$number2=$_GET['number2'];  
for ($i=1; $i<=$number2; $i++)     
{      
 $number1--;      
}
