modulo in PERl vs PHP	Can't Post

I have two pices of code in PERL:

Code

		my $cc = '2521';	 
		my $format = '%0'.(24 - $acclen) .'d'; 
		print "format:".$format."\n"; 
		$account .= sprintf($format, $row->{'id'}); 
		my $numer=$account.$cc.'00'; 
		print " ".$numer."="; 
		print "modulo:".($numer% 97);die(); 
		$account= sprintf('%02d', 98-($numer% 97)).$account; 
		print "konto:".$account;

and PHP:

Code

		$cc = '2521';	// Kod kraju - Polska 
		$format = '%0'.(24 - $acclen) .'d'; 
		print $format; 
		$account .= sprintf($format, $id); 
		print " ".$account.$cc.'00'."=".bcmod($account.$cc.'00', 97); 
		return sprintf('%02d', 98-bcmod($account.$cc.'00', 97)).$account;

$account.$cc. and $account.$cc.'00' are equal but ($numer% 97) and bcmod($account.$cc.'00', 97) are different. Any idea why?

The simple answer is that the bcmod() function does not use the exact same method to calculate the modulus as Perl's modulus operator.

I have not looked at the related C source code of either language, but obviously they need to preform division which returns a floating point number which then is either truncated or rounded to an integer. If it is rounded, is it being rounded up or down (POSIX ceil or floor)?

Why are you stringifying the numbers and unnecessarily using concatenation? PHP might need to use that inefficiency, but Perl doesn't.

PHP code is not my. In fact I cant change it. Question is how to get the same result in perl. I could start php script from perl and get result back. But I would like to do it without another script.

At the moment I don't have a system with php to test the differences, so what value does the bcmod function return and how does that differ from what you're getting from Perl? +1 or -1

Pointless!

Tried different approach

Code

my $account = system("php /var/www/lms/inetgroup.sdom/branches/scripts/account.php $row->{'id'} $row->{'account'}");

Inside php resut is fine but I cant pass value back to perl.

The system function returns the exit code of the program, not its output.

You need to use the `` backticks or qx() operator. You can learn about them in perldoc perlop

Code

my $account = `php /var/www/lms/inetgroup.sdom/branches/scripts/account.php $row->{'id'} $row->{'account'}`;

Code

my $account = qx("php /var/www/lms/inetgroup.sdom/branches/scripts/account.php $row->{'id'} $row->{'account'}");

What are you talking about? I gave you straight answers.

You are the one that left out key info that would have helped in providing the answer you were looking for.

If that is the way you are grateful with people helping you, I'll certainly not waste my time any further.
