note 31388 added to language.expressions

It appears to me that % is simply the same as % in C++ which is the modulus operator. modulus - Returns the remainder obtained by dividing the first argument by the second argument. So in the example above it's not subtracting 2 from it and returning the result, it's dividing $a by 2 and returning the remainder. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.expressions.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31388 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31388 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31388
