Sorry to highjack the OP.
I find the above very curious personaly.
I could be wrong, but I thought "++" had a higher precedence than "=", in
fact I'm very sure it does.
However, having said that, "$imagenum++" is a post-increment, which would
suggest that although the "++" operator has higher precedence the
incrementation should occure after the assignment.
Although I have never used a construct such as $val = $val++, I would have
thought that after the assignment, the next operation would have been the
increment. If that were actualy true then I would expect the value to have
incremented by one before the next loop iteration regardless.
A test shows it doesn't, so I'm wrong.
Trying to actualy work out what is going on in the expression in question
makes my brain hurt. It seems that the increment is being discarded
altogether.
Is this actualy an example of undefined behaviour?
