I don't know if this is a bug, but it seems that pow()
doesn't convert strings to integers like other functions.

For instance if you have the variable $_GET['size'] and
you try this...

<? pow($_GET['size'], 2); ?>

... pow() will produce an error because $_GET['size'] is
still a string (I tested var_dump($_GET['size']) and it
says it's a string).

Hope this helps in the further development of PHP :)

Note: you can still cast the string to an integer like this:

<? pow((int)$_GET['size'], 2); ?>

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
