Maybe person which has created the documentation, wanted to write about exponent ($exp) parameter - not about a base parameter :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-05 14:39:19] dkrysiak at o2 dot pl Description: ------------ http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.pow.php There is a contradiction in this documentation page. The man page states: "Note: PHP cannot handle negative bases." but few lines later such an example occurrs: <?php echo pow(-1, 20); // 1 ?> Decide please :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40729&edit=1
