THANKS! That did the trick.
For future reference to all people needing to calculate check digits with ISO 7604 (MOD 97-10) method: $check=98-bcmod(($num."00"),97); The ."00" part is imporant... If $num was multiplied by 100 we wouldn't get a correct value in bcmod.

You will need to use GMP or BCMath to do math operations numbers that size.
