The PHP modulus function will (interestingly) not return the decimal portion of the result. I wrote a little function that will do so, and mimics the results obtained by using the Windows calculator mod function: function modphp($x, $y, $z) { for ($y = 0; $y <= abs($z); $y++) { $w = abs($z) - (abs($x) * $y); if ($w < abs($x)) { break; } } if ($z < 0) { return(-$w); } else { return($w); } } Here's how to pull the answer out of the mod function above: $answer = modphp($var_x, $var_y, $var_z); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20741 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20741 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20741
