> log(a) / log(n) is not that much harder, and its the right way, imho. Yes, you're right that it is the right way. But for example, for tan(x), the "right way" is sin(x)/cos(x). (Not such a good example, but anyway) log($bla,2) is cleaner, IMO, than log($bla)/log(2), not mentioning the possibl

[PHP-DEV] RFC: New math functions: log2, etc

Hi, I've got the following suggestion, about some of the new math-functions recently added: log2 and log10: remove from PHP exp2 and exp10: remove from PHP (the pow-way is also simply better, in the case of exp2/10, that is) Add second parameter to log, to specify base. (better than writing log
