For those of you still using PHP 4.1.X and below.. fmod is not available. You can easily check if a variable a multiple of 2 by doing the following which is compatible with 4.1.X and below: $var; //variable to check if multiple of 2 or not $stype = gettype($var/2); //returns the type of the result. if($stype == "integer"){ echo "$var is a multiple of two! Yay!"; } else { echo "$var is NOT a multiple of two! Yay, I guess!"; } since 3/2 = 1.5 its a float.. 4/2 = 2 its an integer.. $stype will be equal to "double" if the variable is a float.. for historical reasons. voila. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fmod.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30191 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30191 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30191
