#41108 [NEW]: pow() doesn't handle negative exponents

From: jack dot nerad at comcast dot net Operating system: PHP version: 6CVS-2007-04-17 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: pow() doesn't handle negative exponents Description: ------------ It is a sin that PHP cannot handle negative exponents. Every other respectable language that has half the vocabulary that PHP has can handle negative exponents. Heck, even the windows calculator can handle negative exponents. Please. Mature and refine the language to include this ability. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41108&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41108&r=mysqlcfg
