Note Submitter: maeloun [at{ yahoo }dot] fr ---- "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. "
