Description:
------------
When tested bcpowmod, I saw that sometimes it returns wrong results, and only after this functions is twice replaced by the correct result, but this error does not occur every time so I could be a problem to observe it

The number for this wrong result
a = 26876030130522977362132073521581183346181374574161923861784515294359096339790317651642545453710861830,
b = 77317036686803103778936280840587979061852865432165222860201467725250008729818881455247433896121539492,
c = 23419441391667485230412027806848395891480806969028551095494276441653557878516815994557378094191773302

Test script:
---------------
if(!empty($_GET['a']) && !empty($_GET['b']) && !empty($_GET['c']))
{
echo bcpowmod($_GET['a'], $_GET['b'], $_GET['c']);
}

Expected result:
----------------
7900166398097084738516054342209138549045537503223180351418154803251628881304583728795337234416935756

Actual result:
--------------
1214699235616625452989024013318099653900761106780848559004042547497269228234090040172747025.4033420042

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

The script you supply isn't a self enclosed repro case. Thanks.

@andkos11, this can be hardly called a reproducer as you depend on $_GET. When I rephrase your snippet according to the data you've posted in the description, i se the expected result. See

echo bcpowmod(
"26876030130522977362132073521581183346181374574161923861784515294359096339790317651642545453710861830",
"77317036686803103778936280840587979061852865432165222860201467725250008729818881455247433896121539492",
"23419441391667485230412027806848395891480806969028551095494276441653557878516815994557378094191773302"
);

Please post a self enclosed reproducer or check your code.

Thanks.

Yes, because the result obtained is not always valid.
Tested as in this example, and once receives the expected result, and once there so I decided to report this error. And I sent this example $_GET,because as observed at the beginning on it. I thought it might be really fault this, but after doing:
echo bcpowmod (
"26876030130522977362132073521581183346181374574161923861784515294359096339790317651642545453710861830",
"77317036686803103778936280840587979061852865432165222860201467725250008729818881455247433896121539492",
"23419441391667485230412027806848395891480806969028551095494276441653557878516815994557378094191773302"
);
the result was bad, and after being shown the correct refresh, refreshed so a couple of times a page, and again I received is not correct

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately i still can't reproduce what you're saying. Even running it this way

for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
        echo bcpowmod(
        "26876030130522977362132073521581183346181374574161923861784515294359096339790317651642545453710861830",
        "77317036686803103778936280840587979061852865432165222860201467725250008729818881455247433896121539492",
        "23419441391667485230412027806848395891480806969028551095494276441653557878516815994557378094191773302"
        );
        echo "\n";
}

and always seeing

Heh ... even 5.5 and master show no regression on this. Something else you maybe could observe/try, like changing ini, changing something in env, etc.?

Thanks.
