Description
number
pow ( number base, number exp )
Returns base raised to the power of
exp. If possible, this function will
return an integer.
If the power cannot be computed, a warning will be issued,
and pow() will return FALSE. Since PHP 4.2.0
pow() doesn't issue any warning.
Note:
PHP cannot handle negative bases.
Example 1. Some examples of pow()
<?php
var_dump(pow(2, 8)); // int(256)
echo pow(-1, 20); // 1
echo pow(0, 0); // 1
echo pow(-1, 5.5); // error
?>

| Warning |
In PHP 4.0.6 and earlier pow() always returned
a float, and did not issue warnings.
