Although some would know this, I had to try in order to understand. Modulus and multiplication
operators are not associative; they will execute from left to right.
<?php
$a = 23;
$b = 5;
$c = 2;
$d = $a % $b * $c; // <=> (23%5) * 2 = 3 * 2 = 6
$d2 = $c * $a % $b; // <=> (2*23) % 5 = 46 % 5 = 1
var_dump($d);
var_dump($d2);
