note 36635 added to language.operators.arithmetic

There isn't much detail in the PHP Manual regarding the PHP modulus operator (%). It seems as though the PHP modulus operator (%) works on integer operands. If PHP operates like Perl, then the modulus operator (%) converts its operands to integers before finding the remainder according to integer division. Testing seems to prove the theory: <?php $dividend = 7; $divisor = 2.4; print $dividend%$divisor; // prints 1 print fmod($dividend, $divisor); // prints 2.2 ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36635 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36635&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36635&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
