When I try to mod some integer, it returns false value, it's different with the calculator. Here is the example :

<?php
  $int = 700000000;
  $modwith = 1000000000000;
  print $int%$modwith; // it return 700000000
                       // this is correnct.
  $int = 800000000;
  print $int%$modwith; // it return 72620032
                       // this is false, it supposed to be 800000000
?>

your $modwidth value is way beyond the 
usable and valid range (unless you are
on a 64bit system ;)

I found the replacement of mod (%) which can be used with out of range value. The function is :

    function mod ($a, $b) {
      $rtn = $a;
      while ($rtn > $b) {
         $rtn -= $b;
      }
      return $rtn;
    }

It works with my other script and returning the correct value. Please try it.

try 

<?php
  $modwith = 1000000000000;
  echo gettype($modwith);
?>

see?
