PHP: Arithmetic Operators
Description
There are five basic arithmetic operators.
- + (addition)
- - (subtraction)
- * (multiplication)
- / (division)
- % (modulus)
The operators are summarized in the following table.
Operator | Name | Example | Result |
---|---|---|---|
+ | Addition | $x + $y | Sum of $x and $y. |
- | Subtraction | $x - $y | Difference of $x and $y. |
* | Multiplication | $x * $y | Product of $x and $y. |
/ | Division | $x / $y | Quotient of $x and $y |
% | Modulus | $x % $y | Remainder of $x divided by $y. |
Example:
<?php
$x=100;
$y=60;
echo "The sum of x and y is : ". ($x+$y) ."<br />";
echo "The difference between x and y is : ". ($x-$y) ."<br />";
echo "Multiplication of x and y : ". ($x*$y) ."<br />";
echo "Division of x and y : ". ($x/$y) ."<br />";
echo "Modulus of x and y : " . ($x%$y) ."<br />";
?>
Output:
The sum of x and y is : 160 The difference between x and y is : 40 Multiplication of x and y : 6000 Division of x and y : 1.6666666666667 Modulus of x and y : 40
Note : In the case of division, the operator returns a float value if the two operands are not integers.

How to Sort Multi-dimensional Array by Value?
Try a usort, If you are still on PHP 5.2 or earlier, you'll have to define a sorting function first:
Example:
function sortByOrder($a, $b) { return $a['order'] - $b['order']; } usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');
Starting in PHP 5.3, you can use an anonymous function:
usort($myArray, function($a, $b) { return $a['order'] - $b['order']; });
And finally with PHP 7 you can use the spaceship operator:
usort($myArray, function($a, $b) { return $a['order'] <=> $b['order']; });
To extend this to multi-dimensional sorting, reference the second/third sorting elements if the first is zero - best explained below. You can also use this for sorting on sub-elements.
usort($myArray, function($a, $b) { $retval = $a['order'] <=> $b['order']; if ($retval == 0) { $retval = $a['suborder'] <=> $b['suborder']; if ($retval == 0) { $retval = $a['details']['subsuborder'] <=> $b['details']['subsuborder']; } } return $retval; });
If you need to retain key associations, use uasort() - see comparison of array sorting functions in the manual
