His code was basically $i=($i++)%2. I *think* what he meant was $i=($i+1)%2. those two are certainly not equivalent, you're right. I didn't meant to imply that they were. Assuming he really meant $i=($i++)%2, it would be much more clear (at least to me and I suspect most people) if it were written: $i = ($i % 2) + 1; anyone familiar with the % operator can look at that and see exactly what will happen. The same is certainly not true of $i=($i++)%2, which made me go crosseyed for a few seconds :) And the bug is avoided.
