Since it’s an integer-only operation in PHP, producing INF doesn’t make sense. It also doesn’t make sense mathematically. I think the most sensible thing to do here would be to throw an exception. On the same note, the new function intdiv() is the counterpart to % for obtaining the quotient (% produces the remainder). It currently does the same thing as % and / division and produces FALSE with a warning. If % is changed, intdiv() should be too, because they are the same operation, just returning different parts of the result. An exception being produced by both would seem reasonable.
