It doesn't have a use in only PHP but in all programming languages.
It's a math thing .. u can get a remainder of a division.
10%8 = 2
12%8 = 4
10%5 = 0
12%5 = 2
Simple application:
$ppl = 23;
$grpsize = 7;
echo ("when $ppl people are divided over groups of $grpsize, ".
$ppl%$grpsize ." people are ungrouped.");
This operator can be used for more complex situations.
