Binary to Octal Conversion Proof Problem

For this problem, you are to cannibalize any available code and write a pair of scripts to perform a conversion proof from binary to octal, using a positive binary value provided by the user. Your scripts are to do the following.

1. The HTML Page: binoctproof.html
   • Ask the user for a binary number
   • Accept input in a form
   • Using the Convert button, send the data to a PHP script called binoctproof.php
2. The PHP Script: binoctproof.php
   • Ensure that the binary value is positive
   • State what the binary value is and what its octal equivalent is
   • Perform an 8-step proof which shows that the values are indeed equivalent
