note 22448 added to function.pow

I spent more than 1 day troubleshooting a financial formula, then i found out that 2^3 = 1 in php! not 8 i dont understand why the php developers didnt think of a standard way of doing this why create a pow function? perl uses ** operator 2**3=8 , excel uses the ^ operator 2^3=8, and php the pow function... pow(2,3)=8 -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pow.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22448 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22448 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22448
