Description:
------------
When I use gmp_init(), gmp_pow gives incorrect answers.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<pre><?php
$iMessage = ord($_GET['message']);
$rText = gmp_init($iMessage);
$rRandE = gmp_init("7");
?>
Message:  <?=gmp_strval($rText)?> <!-- 88 -->
e:        <?=gmp_strval($rRandE)?> <!-- 7 -->
Message^e:<?=gmp_strval(gmp_pow($rText,$rRandE))?> 18979061712307928304713728 
88^7:     <?=gmp_strval(gmp_pow(88,7))?> 40867559636992 (It doesn't matter here whether I use strings or integers)
pow(88,7):<?=pow(88,7)?>    40867559637000


Expected result:
----------------
Line 8 should give the same outcome as line 9 and (aproximatly) 10

Actual result:
--------------
Different outcomes

Can you give a comprehensible script without external values (no _GET)? and a clear output of this script and what you would expect, no need to comment it, only what the script outputs now and what you would like to have.

RTFM. Proto of this function:

resource gmp_pow  ( resource $base  , int $exp  )

Notice the text 'int' for 2nd parameter?
