I think for consistancies sake (since it is practically the same operation depending on architecture) both should either give a warning or both should return boolean false; Reproduce code: --------------- <?php var_dump(1/0); var_dump(1%0); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Warning: Division by zero in /srv/www/hosts/seniorcaringcall.ithinc.net/public_html/tmp.php on line 2 bool(false) Warning: Division by zero in /srv/www/hosts/seniorcaringcall.ithinc.net/public_html/tmp.php on line 3 bool(false) //OR bool(false) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- Warning: Division by zero in /srv/www/hosts/seniorcaringcall.ithinc.net/public_html/tmp.php on line 2 bool(false) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39027&edit=1
