On my installation of PHP (4.0.4pl1, Apache 1.3.17, FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE),
the above snippet results in $str storing a zero value. (Which makes
sense. The numerical value of "a" is zero.)
However
$str = "a";
$str++;
results in $str storing the value "b".
It's
$str = "z";
$str++;
that results in "aa" being stored in $str.
(This behavior was, in fact, what started the thread you replied into.)
