Hello all,

I ported a algorithm from JavaScript to PHP and noticed that PHP outputs a
different result than JS. For example:

====================
t   = 0.6255264658909423
f   = 20.5
ln  = -6.983333333333333
d2r = 0.017453292519943295

$ra = (((6.6460656 + 2400.0513 * $t + 2.58e-5 * $t * $t + $f) * 15 - $ln) %
360) * $d2r;

PHP outputs 4.4156830075456535
JS outputs 4.42304792511156
====================

I found out that ((...) % 360) returns in PHP 253.0000... whereas JS and a
Calculator return 253.6085....
I also tried to use the bc...-functions but the result was the same.

This formular is only a part of a bigger calculation and I also noticed
further differences because when
I manually set $ra to 4.4230... (the JS result) then I still get a different
end-result than in JS but it is
100% EXACTLY the same algorithm, I checked it many times.

How could that be?! 1:1 the same code but different outputs? Is this a
PHP-bug?  :-?

Kindly regards,

Mario
