note 16149 added to language.operators.increment

Note that the ++ and -- don't convert a boolean to an int. The following code will loop forever. function a($start_index) { for($i = $start_index; $i < 10; $i++) echo "\$i = $i\n"; } a(false); This behavior is, of course, very different from that in C. Had me pulling out my hair for a while. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.increment.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16149 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16149 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16149
