, string $right_operand
[, int $scale
] )
Raise left_operand to the power right_operand .
Список параметров
- left_operand
-
The left operand, as a string.
- right_operand
-
The right operand, as a string.
- scale
-
This optional parameter is used to set the number of digits after the decimal place in the result. You can also set the global default scale for all functions by using bcscale().
Возвращаемые значения
Returns the result as a string.

bcpow() only supports exponents less than or equal to 2^31-1. Also, bcpow() does not support decimal numbers. If you have scale set to 0, then the exponent is converted to an interger; otherwise an error is generated.

Well, if bcpow has limits, then this should work:<?php
function bcpow_($num, $power) {
$awnser = "1";
while ($power) {
$awnser = bcmul($awnser, $num, 100);
$power = bcsub($power, "1");
}
return rtrim($awnser, '0.');
}
?>
Just that $power cannot have decimal digits in it.
<?php
bcscale(100);

for($i = 0; $i < $iter; $i++)
{
$pow = (1 + (2 * $i));
$mul = bcdiv("1.0", $pow);
$fraction = bcmul($mul, bcpow(bcsub($a, "1.0") / bcadd($a, "1.0"), $pow));
$result = bcadd($fraction, $result);
}
return bcmul("2.0", $result);
