Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php

"The division operator ("/") returns a float value anytime, even if the two operands are integers (or strings that get converted to integers)."

Anytime like 'always' or 'it might be possible the division operator returns a float, even if the operands are integers'?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo gettype(10/2);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
float

Actual result:
--------------
integer

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
