You don’t need a different operator on 64-bit systems, the point is that using (int) with / is an ugly hack that just so happens to only break on 64-bit systems. You could do 3 %% 2 or intdiv(3, 2) on both 32-bit or 64-bit. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
