Right, but afaik it's not documented, so making it a doc problem.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Description:
------------
The operators ++ and -- don't increment/decrement boolean values.
This behaviour could be extremly annoying when you have something
like:

$key = array_search($thekey, array_keys($thearray));
for($i=$key; $x<count($thearray); $i++)
  echo "foo";

Workaround:

$key = array_search($thekey, array_keys($thearray));
if($key==false) $key=0;

for($i=$key; $x<count($thearray); $i++)
  echo "foo";


If this behaviour is intended, then it should at least be documented
that ++,-- doens't convert boolean values.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// Works
$x = false;
echo $x+1; // Outputs 1

// Doesn't work
$x= false; 
$x++; 
echo $x; // Outputs nothing



Expected result:
----------------
11

Actual result:
--------------
1
