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

PHP7 always returns 0 as remainder after division to 1.

<?php
echo (1 % 1; // 0, ok
echo 1.5 % 1; // 0, must be .5
echo 2.234567 % 1; // 0, must be .234567
?>

Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo (1 % 1) ."\n";
echo (1.5 % 1) ."\n";
echo (2.234567 % 1) ."\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
0
.5
.234567

Actual result:
--------------
0
0
0

The explanation is also in the documentation:

"Operands of modulo are converted to integers (by stripping the decimal part) before processing. For floating-point modulo, see fmod()."
