Description:
------------
 Asume $f[1] = ""

I get a "Division by zero" error when i do this:

$overflowsimulation = (((strlen($f[1])) + 2147483648) % 4294967296);


In fact, i get it even if i do this:

$overflowsimulation = (2147483648 % 4294967296);

Thanks.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$f = "";

$osim = (((strlen($f)) + 2147483648) % 4294967296);

echo $osim;

?>

Expected result:
----------------
0

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Division by zero in C:\Archivos de programa\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\BASICtoPHP_testfile_60661.578.php on line 5

On a 32 bit compile of PHP, 4294967296 used in an integer context will overflow to 0, hence PHP believes you're attempting to divide by 0, remembering that modulus is effectively division.

Expected behaviour; closing.
