Well, it looks like your previous response was correct, but $a%$b in this case returns 4, not the 0.8 as intended ... fmod($a, $b) (I have php 4.1.2, so I can't test fmod()) will probably return 0.8 though. As a side note, this message seems a little off-topic ... though it is PHP, it has nothing to do with databases. :) Regards, Matt. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew D.
