The script shows that ++$i; func($i); and func(++$i); are not equivalent at all times. When not using the default value and submitting an actual variable, both expressions are handled the same way. Reproduce code: --------------- See http://helplets.com/PHP/referencebug.txt Expected result: ---------------- 0123456 -------- 0123456 -------- 0123456 Actual result: -------------- 0123456 -------- 01234545 -------- 0123456 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41781&edit=1
