note 49371 added to language.operators.arithmetic

A note about the documentation on this page that I found while teaching a PHP class: The above statment: "The division operator ("/") returns a float value anytime, even if the two operands are integers (or strings that get converted to integers)." is NOT TRUE. Take the following: <?php $a=5; $b=10; $c=$b/$a; $d=10/5; var_dump($c); var_dump($d); var_dump($b/$a); var_dump(10/5); ?> All 4 instances will print "int(2)" Therefore, the division operator "/" returns an integer value if the numbers are evenly divisible AND they are both integers (or strings that have been converted to integer values). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49371 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49371&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49371&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49371&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49371&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49371&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49371&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
