Is this not one time where using a flag to change a function's behaviour
makes sense? So rather than fdiv, floor_div, int_div (etc) we have div($1,

existing fdiv and fmod functions. Wouldn't new operators, // and %%
respectively, be preferable?

Hello,
Before I submit an RFC, I’d like to see what others’ thoughts are.
Should PHP implement functions for floor division and floor modulo?
To keep it simple, in some programming languages such as PHP and C, the
result of integer division will be rounded towards zero, and result of
the modulo
