Note Submitter: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu ---- The function below is not a replacement for http://php.net/fmod Rather, it is the classic (mathematician's) modulo where the resultant value is always non-negative, in the range [0,$base). For example, mod(-9,7) => 5. When both arguments are integers, you get the classic notion of the % operator. function mod($num, $base) { return ($num - $base*floor($num/$base)); } Csaba Gabor
