Quadratic Equation Problem IV

An Interactive Web-Based Solution

For this problem, you are to cannibalize any available code and write a pair of scripts which will do the following.

1. The HTML Page: rootsInteractiveWeb.html
   • Ask the user for the coefficients of the equation:
     Ax² + Bx + C = 0
   • Accept input in a form
   • Using the "Calculate!" button, send the data to a PHP script called rootsInteractiveWeb.php
2. The PHP Script: rootsInteractiveWeb.php
   1. Display the equation
   2. Calculate and display the value of the discriminant
   3. Checking the discriminant, calculate the root(s) and print the results
