yes, I meant: "increment $i, assign $a[ $i ] to $x, and then
increment once more.
ok, then, let's forget it.

This is a very weird and uncommon piece of code. If it's indeed correct

Well, I guess you answered your own question :) If it's useless, that's
pretty much the reason not
I recently needed to process every other element of a
numerically indexed array.
for( $i = 0 ; $i < count( $a ) ; $x = $a[ ++$i++ ] )
would have saved me one statement. I had to use
for( $i = 0 ; $i < count( $a ) ; $x = $a[ $i++ ] , $i++ )
I know, this is an 'issue' so tiny I can laugh at it,
Could you explain how this construct is useful? I can't think of any real
world situation in which it's useful or even remotely makes sense. What
would it even do? Remember, an expression has only one value.
