This did fix the problem but I am amazed that

$s%$d=0 would be interpereted as a statement assigning d to 0 since there is some other stuff in front of d... I would think that would produce an error at compile time since $s%$d is an illegal variable name. Normally when my php script errors at compile time nothing will display to the screen.

Nothing wrong with $s%$d=0. What you have is the following:

    $s % ($d = 0)

Probably what was intended was:

    ($s % $d) == 0

Moral of the story? Don't be sloppy. Take pride in writing readable
code. Anyone can produce gibberish.

Cheers,

another suggestion would be to have it written this way

0 == ($s % $d)

if you by chance did this

0 = ($s % $d)

it will give you an error, because you cannot assign a value to a literal value.

Just a thought.
