Except that: $a = 123; $b = $a++; echo $b; //gives 123, not 124 as you logically expect it to and common sense would dictate, regardless of what K&R or anyone else says.That's not the way I look at it. $b = $a++; means to me "take the value of $a and assign to $b and then increment $a." Whereas: $b = ++$a; means to me "increment $a and take the value of $a and assign to $b." Cheers, tedd -- ----- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
