note 103525 added to language.operators.arithmetic

For larger numbers (above PHP_INT_MAX), use fmod() rather than %. The other operators (+-*/) work correctly with floats and integer overflow, but % uses integer wrap. Eg. var_dump(0xffffffff % 2); //Prints int(-1) which is WRONG var_dump(intval(fmod(0xffffffff,2))); //Prints int(1) which is the right answer (The reason this matters is that PHP's float is actually a double, and can accurately represent integers up to 52-bits, even on 32-bit systems) ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 87.194.171.29 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103525 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103525 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103525 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
