Description
float 
log ( float arg [, float base] )
     If the optional base parameter is specified, 
     log() returns logbase
     arg, otherwise log() 
     returns the natural logarithm of arg.
    
Note: 
      The base parameter became available
      with PHP 4.3.0.
     
      As always you can calculate the logarithm in base b
      of a number n, but using the mathematical identity:
      logb(n) = log(n)/log(b), where log is the
      neperian (or natural) logarithm.
