Fixed, "y" in bcpow and bcpowmod are now listed as type integer. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-29 21:09:11] pollita@php.net libbcmath, unfortunately, does not support non-integer exponents in either raise (bcpow) or raisemod (bcpowmod). libgmp, sadly, is no better. Documentation should be updated to reflect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-28 15:51:18] aleon at sedesa dot com dot ar bcpow(1.0183333333,0.9990867579) this gives 1 when it should be 1.018316438, no matter wich scale i choose. If you approach 0.9990867579 to 0.9999999999999, then it works.
