Here is my solution to this problem in PHP:
private $v = ['M' = > 1000, 'D' = > 500, 'C' = > 100, 'L' = > 50, 'X' = > 10, 'V' = > 5, 'I' = > 1];
/**
* @param String $s
* @return Integer
*/
function romanToInt($s) {
$n = 0;
$last = '';
for ($i=0;$i < strlen ($s ); $i++) {
$n += $this- >v[$s[$i]];
if (($s[$i] == 'V' || $s[$i] == 'X') && $last == 'I') {
$n = $n - 2;
} elseif (($s[$i] == 'L' || $s[$i] == 'C') && $last == 'X') {
$n -= 20;
} elseif (($s[$i] == 'D' || $s[$i] == 'M') && $last == 'C') {
$n -= 200;
}
$last = $s[$i];
}
return $n;
}
}
