Note Submitter: Ezekiel Victor ---- Knowing nothing about how PHP implements these operators, it appears to me that dsbeam's tests below yield a logical result. After all, in order for the post-increment/post-decrement operators to return the initial value *before* the operation occurs, I would think the operators must use a small amount of memory to store the initial value before performing the operation. Otherwise, the initial value wouldn't be available to return after the operation. Here's a pseudo code example of how pre- and post-increment operators might be implemented: operator ++() // pre-increment increment value return value operator ++(int) // post-increment store value increment value return stored value from before increment
