base raised to the power of exp . If the result can be represented as integer it will be returned as type integer, else it will be returned as type float. If the power cannot be computed FALSE will be returned instead.

Версия	Описание
Since 4.0.6	The function will now return integer results if possible, before this it always returned a float result. For older versions, you may receive a bogus result for complex numbers.
Since 4.2.0	PHP stops to emit a warning if the value can't be computed, it will now silently return `FALSE` only.
