Millimeter to Pixel
*******************
$pixels = ($mm * $dpi) / 25.4
Pixel to Millimeter
*******************
$mm = ($pixels * $25.4) / dpi
ex : milli meter to pixel
*************************
Let me explain a little bit.
1 inch = 25.4 mm
If we assume a resolution of e.g. 300 dpi (that's 300 dots or pixels per inch)
then 100 mm (being approx. 4 inches) is 300*4 = 1200 pixels
The formula gives:
100 * 300 / 25.4 = 1181 pixels
