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

You are passing the bound variable by value, not by reference. Try "use (&$c)" else $c++ will increment on a copy. Same for the other example with $r.
