As posted, that is true. But we don't know what other code he has
which isn't posted. Perhaps he has something like $increment=4; in
another place in his program.

Also, which variable wins the $increment depends on the php.ini
settings. The default is GPCS (Get/Post/Cookie/Session), but that can
be changed.
