"PHP follows Perl's convention when dealing with arithmetic operations on character
variables and not C's. For example, in Perl 'Z'+1 turns into 'AA', while in
C 'Z'+1 turns into '[' ( ord('Z') == 90, ord('[') == 91 ).
Note that character variables can be incremented but not decremented and even so only plain ASCII
characters (a-z and A-Z) are supported."
I think this sentence should be edited to become:
"PHP follows Perl's convention when dealing with arithmetic operations on character
variables and not C's. For example, in Perl 'Z'++ turns into 'AA' (and
'Z'+1 turns into '1'), while in C 'Z'+1 turns into '[' (
ord('Z') == 90, ord('[') == 91 ). Note that character variables can be
incremented but not decremented and even so only plain ASCII characters (a-z and A-Z) are supported.
