This describes my voting choice exactly. I'm not against the idea of an operator, but %% is not the right operator choice for me. I could live with /% but it still doesn't feel quite right. I don't have a practical implementable suggestion for an alternative, so I guess we'll just have to live without it. Of course, this does not preclude us from introducing this in the future if someone comes up with a better idea :-) Thanks, Chris -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
