Note Submitter: cadde at notmymail dot com ---- Note on the modulus operators returning negative values for great numbers... For instance: <?PHP $a = pow(2, 31); // You expect it to be 2147483648 but under the surface it's actually -2147483648 because the variable is signed. $a = 50856937683; // You expect it to be 50856937683 but something odd is going on here where you are breaking the 32 bit storage and it converts to either -682669869 or -1116408691 ?> I don't have the time to actually check which of the two negatives it converts to but that is why it returns a negative value either way.
