fmod() - math

Returns the floating point remainder of dividing the dividend
   (x) by the divisor (y).
   The remainder (r) is defined as: x = i * y + r, for 
   some integer i. If y is
   non-zero, r has the same sign as
   x and a magnitude less than the magnitude of
   y.
Parameters :
  • x - The dividend
  • y - The divisor

  • Syntax

    float fmod
         ( float $x
        , float $y
        )


    Example

    <?php$x = 5.7;$y = 1.3;$r = fmod($x, $y);// $r equals 0.5, because 4 * 1.3 + 0.5 = 5.7?>
