The documentation says
$a= 5;
-$a;
echo $a;
theresult: 4
$a= 5;
$a-;
echo $a
theresult: 4
In reality however both report an error
Instead it should be:
$a--;
--$a;
Which makes more sense to me since it is also ++$a and $a++.
Is this just the winversion, has it to do with phptriad or is this a mistake in the documentation?
Since I probably end up serving the pages on Linux and building it on Wintel it could be quite a
problem.
