To determine odd or even it's faster and more efficient to use the bitwise & operator:
$a = 3;
if ($a & 1) {
echo 'odd';
} else {
echo 'even';
}
// returns 'odd'
MOD
PHP code
<?php
/*
* Makes the value of "result" congruent to "value1" modulo "value2".
* opcode number: 5
*/
echo 6 % 3;
?>
PHP opcodes
Function name: (null)
Compiled variables: none
| line | # | op | fetch | ext | return | operands |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 0 | MOD | ~0 | 6,3 | ||
| 1 | ECHO | ~0 | ||||
| 7 | 2 | RETURN | 1 |

A function to handle integers of any length, including negatives. Returns remainder but also calculates division in the process (could be useful in some cases).
<?php
function remainder($dividend, $divisor) {
if ($dividend == 0 || $divisor == 0) return 0;
$dividend .= '';
$remainder = 0;
$division = '';
// negative case
while ($dividend < 0) {
$dividend += $divisor;
if ($dividend >= 0) return $dividend;
}
// positive case
while (($remainder.$dividend)*1 > $divisor) {
// get remainder big enough to divide
while ($remainder*1 < $divisor) {
$remainder .= $dividend[0];
$remainder *= 1;
$dividend = substr($dividend, 1);
}
// get highest multiplicator for remainder
$mult = floor($remainder / $divisor);
// add multiplicator to division
$division .= $mult.'';
// subtract from remainder
$remainder -= $mult*$divisor;
}
// add remaining zeros if any, to division
if (strlen($dividend) > 0 && $dividend*1 == 0) {
$division .= $dividend;
}
return $remainder;

Might be helpful:
I had to create and "INSERT INTO" on every 50th row:
<?php
$lineBreak = 50;
$tableName = 'user';
$tableFields = 'id, name, password';
?>
in the loop:
<?php
if ($counter === 0 || $counter % $lineBreak === 0) {
echo "INSERT INTO $tableName ($tableFields) VALUES (";
} else {
echo ' (';
}
// add values comma-delimited
if ($counter === 0 || $counter % $lineBreak === 0) {
$insertStmt .= ');';
} else {
$insertStmt .= '),';
}
?>
(in my case I had to check if $no % $o === 0)
