Note Submitter: martynas dot stropa at gmail dot com ---- A function to handle integers of any length, including negatives. Returns remainder but also calculates division in the process (could be useful in some cases). <?php function remainder($dividend, $divisor) { if ($dividend == 0 || $divisor == 0) return 0; $dividend .= ''; $remainder = 0; $division = ''; // negative case while ($dividend < 0) { $dividend += $divisor; if ($dividend >= 0) return $dividend; } // positive case while (($remainder.$dividend)*1 > $divisor) { // get remainder big enough to divide while ($remainder*1 < $divisor) { $remainder .= $dividend[0]; $remainder *= 1; $dividend = substr($dividend, 1); } // get highest multiplicator for remainder $mult = floor($remainder / $divisor); // add multiplicator to division $division .= $mult.''; // subtract from remainder $remainder -= $mult*$divisor; } // add remaining zeros if any, to division if (strlen($dividend) > 0 && $dividend*1 == 0) { $division .= $dividend; } return $remainder; }
