Ok, so where in the documentation does it explain that you can't use % on floats? I love how PHP just doesn't work as expected, yet Perl, MySQL, you name it, all have no problems. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-27 15:54:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, you're dealing with floats. Of course fmod() works. (try doing 'var_dump(2190988683);'...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-27 15:35:06] ngaugler at ngworld dot net Description: ------------ When performing a % (mod) function on two numbers, PHP returns negative values when it should not. Example: PHP: (2190988683 % 3) returns -1 fmod(2190988683,3) returns 0 Perl: (2190988683 % 3) returns 0 Reproduce code: --------------- <? echo "(2190988683 % 3) = " . (2190988683 % 3). "<br>\n"; echo "fmod(2190988683,3) = " . fmod(2190988683,3) . "<br>\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- (2190988683 % 3) = 0 fmod(2190988683,3) = 0 Actual result: -------------- (2190988683 % 3) = -1 fmod(2190988683,3) = 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27064&edit=1
