Provides a function to rescale numbers so that the range [a,b] fits into the range [c,d].
<?php
function rescale($ab, $cd)

if($a == $b)
{
trigger_error("Invalid scale", E_USER_WARNING);
return false;
}
$o = ($b * $c - $a * $d) / ($b - $a);
$s = ($d - $c) / ($b - $a);
return function($x)use($o, $s)
{
return $s * $x + $o;
};

$fahr2celsius = rescale([32, 212], [0, 100]);
