Note Submitter: thookerov A@T gmail dot com ---- To the comment from nicholas_rainard: Your function is much more efficient, but should probably be combined with the first two lines from the function prior to yours: function int_divide($x, $y) { if ($x == 0) return 0; if ($y == 0) return FALSE; return ($x - ($x % $y)) / $y; } Permits for zero in either argument. Also, this always returns the floor of the division. Probably seems obvious to most, but it didn't to me at first. Maybe a rounding function would look like: function up_or_dn($x, $y) { if ($x == 0) return 0; if ($y == 0) return FALSE; return ($x % $y >= $y / 2) ? (($x - ($x % $y)) / $y) + 1 : ($x - ($x % $y)) / $y; } Adds 1 if the mod result is more than half $y (which if my math is right means the float result is .5+, so round up). Simplest example: $x = 3, $y = 2.
