My first PHP program: Odds ratio and Cox index calculator

Finally ... at the age of 50 (!) ...  I was able to write my first PHP program.

Based on the results of logistic regression model (the intercept and the program impact estimate -- all expressed in logit), this program allows a user to calculate an odds ratio statistic and a standardized effect size (Cox index).  The algorithm can be found in What Works Clearinghouse's standard document:

WWC procedures handbook (see page. 14)
WWC standards slides (Definition of small sample size correction, slide 14)

I replied on the following materials:

Udemy, Reece Kenny's Create a REAL Social Network like Facebook in PHP + MySQL.  Honestly I didn't complete this course, but I learned how to run PHP and MySQL on my PC by installing XAMPP and running files from the XAMPP's subfolder (C:\xampp\htdocs).  I also would have never figured out how to look at results by opening the file from localhost (e.g., http://localhost/calc.php).

Michiko's code.  I first copied her simple calculator example and modified it to make my program.
