dewey_witt Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 It means that it is 2 to the power of 3 in most programing languges. Im almost certain it is the same with PHP altho not sure. Anyone else? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84223-help-what-is-mean-by-this-symbol/#findComment-428896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcoweb Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Whatever it is I can't find it in any of the tutorials or references I have. Here's a list of the operators: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/php/article.php/3472471 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84223-help-what-is-mean-by-this-symbol/#findComment-428899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmarif4u Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes dewey_witt is right,it is exponent operator in java etc.its not in php or maybe it is but the result for java is diffrenet than php. Example: <?php $id=2 ^ 3; echo $id; ?> The result in java will be 8 but in php it will be 1,not sure why?

dewey_witt Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I beleive that maybe it is a root function of some sort? I dunno. They do have a section in php help that is for php math help I think you may do better there than here. If a quick anwser is what you are needing.

kenrbnsn Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Instead of guessing what the operator "^" is, go to the online manual for operators and read the different sections. There you will discover that the "^" operator is a bitwise operator.
