Comments:
PHP 3 supports the BC math library functions of arbitrary precision operations, so you're best
off using them as
you seem to be dealing with very large numbers.
The mod function is called bc_mod(). Check out the online man pages for more information.
In any case, there might be better ways of doing the built-in math operations. It might still be a
good idea to take
a look at them, but we have to be careful not to make incompatible changes. Some places already
automatically
use the BC math library in case the operations overflow and the BC library is compiled into PHP
