Description:
------------
taking a modulus with 0 does not give a warning or an error rather it returns a boolean false. dividing by 0 gives a warning. I think for consistancies sake (since it is practically the same operation depending on architecture) both should either give a warning or both should return boolean false;

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(1/0);
var_dump(1%0);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Warning: Division by zero in /srv/www/hosts/seniorcaringcall.ithinc.net/public_html/tmp.php on line 2
bool(false) 
Warning: Division by zero in /srv/www/hosts/seniorcaringcall.ithinc.net/public_html/tmp.php on line 3
bool(false)

//OR
bool(false)
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Division by zero in /srv/www/hosts/seniorcaringcall.ithinc.net/public_html/tmp.php on line 2
bool(false) bool(false)
