note 95199 deleted from function.fmod by danbrown

Note Submitter: Michael Fallows ---- @ linkboss at gmail dot com They are not the same if you are working with floats. The % operator converts the numbers into integers. One example taken from the comments page on Arithmetic Operators: (todd at magnifisites dot com) <?php $dividend = 7; $divisor = 2.4; print $dividend%$divisor; // prints 1 print fmod($dividend, $divisor); // prints 2.2 ?> Several other people have also commented on this "functionality" on the same page ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php).
