It is pretty heavily commented so it should be easy to understand. The 2 variables you want are $MAP_x,$MAP_y

<?php
//declare variables that would be coming from the database
$Name = "Bog Fairies";
$PathfindLocation = "589,-35,560";
$IconType = "MOB";
$Description = "The boring Description about the bog fairies.";
$ZoneRect = "-844,358,-553,698";

//end declare of database variables
//Assume Map images size
$MAP_1x = 436;
$MAP_1y = 506;

//declare what were global variables in the program that i need
//the 2 below should always be zero
$MAP_0x = 0;
$MAP_0y = 0;
//Icons Width and height
$IconW = 10;
$IconH = 10;
//get the location from a string to 3 variables.
list($LOC_x, $LOC_z, $LOC_y) = explode(",",$PathfindLocation);

//split the zonerect up to something usefull
list($LOC_0x, $LOC_0y, $LOC_1x, $LOC_1x) = explode(",",$ZoneRect);

$LOC_0x = $LOC_0x * -1;

//Calculate WDPP_X and WDPP_Y
$wdpp_x = ((-$LOC_1x - $LOC_0x) / $MAP_1x);
$wdpp_y = (($LOC_1y - $LOC_0y) / $MAP_1y);

//calculate Location
$MAP_x = (((-$LOC_0x + $LOC_x) / $wdpp_x) + $MAP_0x) - ($IconW / 2);
$MAP_y = (((-$LOC_0y + $LOC_y) / $wdpp_y) + $MAP_0y) - ($IconH / 2);
//round the Location so that there are no decimals
$MAP_x = round($MAP_x, 0);
$MAP_y = round($MAP_y, 0);

/*
//remove block comment for "Debug Mode"
echo "MAP_1x: $MAP_1x<BR>MAP_1y: $MAP_1y<br>";
echo "LOC_x: $LOC_x<BR>LOC_y: $LOC_y<BR>";
echo "LOC_0x: $LOC_0x<BR>LOC_0y: $LOC_0y<br>LOC_1x: $LOC_1x<br>LOC_1y: $LOC_1y<BR>";
