How can i do modulo arithmetic with decimal value since PHP only can do modulo with integer?
Example case:
echo 1.92 % 1000; // (int) 1, expected result should be 1.92
is there any library to do this correctly?

$twoDecNum = sprintf('%0.2f', round($number, 2)); The rounding correctly rounds the number and the sprintf forces it to 2 decimal places if it happens to to be only 1 decimal place after rounding. Save this answer.
The fmod() function returns the remainder (modulo) of x/y.
The is_numeric() function in the PHP programming language is used to evaluate whether a value is a number or numeric string. Numeric strings contain any number of digits, optional signs such as + or -, an optional decimal, and an optional exponential. Therefore, +234.5e6 is a valid numeric string.
The floor() function rounds a number DOWN to the nearest integer, if necessary, and returns the result. Tip: To round a number UP to the nearest integer, look at the ceil() function. Tip: To round a floating-point number, look at the round() function.
There is also a floating point fmod() function
echo fmod(1.92, 1000)

I think you wanted this one, this returns float result?
