Not a bug > bogus.
$a = ++$b = 1 is meaningless, you cannot assign values to ++$b or
$b++.

I've tried a trick I often use in C++; the PHP syntax should be
identical:
$a=0;
while ([condition]) {
$mystring= ++$a%=8 ? "A" : "B";
[...]
}
the value of $mystring should be "B" seven times and then "A" once,
keeping the value of $a in the range [0..7].
If $a is useless for other purposes, the following gives the same
result:
$a=0;
while ([condition]) {
$mystring= ++$a%8 ? "A" : "B";
[...]
}
whith two differences:
$a is no loger necessarily in the range [0..7] and, above all, tha
latter works, but tha former doesn't!
I've tried to parse "++$a" writing
$mystring= (++$a)%=8 ? "A" : "B";
but it doesn't work.
Since this problem is related to operators, I don't think you need
information about my modules or my system, but if I'm wrong ask me for
that.
Thank you.

Davide Spagnoli
