Ummmm... This now says "In PHP, the statement '$a++' has no value ... In PHP ... these [are] expressions as well". You need to nuke the entire sentence that originally referred to PHP/FI 2 since that is no longer true for current PHP versions. The remaining sections then don't hang well together, and ideally need a total rewrite along the lines of: Another good example of expression orientation is pre- and post-increment and decrement. Users of other languages may be familiar with the notation of variable++ and variable--. PHP also provides these <link linkend="language.operators.increment">increment and decrement operators</link> and, just as in C, they are expressions as well. In PHP, like in C, there Cheers!
