Description:
------------
I can't seem to work out why, but the %() function doesn't always return the right out. For example 25% (40); returns 25 yet 25% of 40 is 15. I've checked and checked again and the error is on php's side and not mine. Other percentages work yet some don't.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$sum = 25% (40);
echo "25% of 40 is ".$sum;

Expected result:
----------------
25% of 40 is 15

Actual result:
--------------
25% of 40 is 25

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

There is no "%() function" in PHP.
Check appropriate part of the documentation:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php

Oops, I ment 10, the correct output should be 10 not 15. 25% of 40 is 10
