AFAIR this is some strange magic borrowed from perl
the deeper sense in this is that you can use it
to increment/decrement the numerical part of
serial numbers and such
IMHO this is more confusing then helpfull and
should be nuked

Here is a simple code
<?
header("content-type: text/plain");
$num = -5;
echo "$numn";
$num++;
echo "$numn";
$num--;
echo "$numn";
echo "----------n";
$num = "-5";
echo "$numn";
$num++;
echo "$numn";
$num--;
echo "$numn";
?>
And here results
-5
-4
-5
----------
-5
-6 <-- ?????????????????
-7
It looks like "++" operator do not work properly on variables enclosed in
double-quotes.
Other operators (ie $num = $num +1) woks properly.
