Arithmetic expression execution returns unexpected results with ++ or -- operators.

$c = $a++ + ++$a;
echo "$c\n";

$a = 10;
$c = ++$a + $a++;
echo "$c\n";

22

23 <- ?? Why ??

<?php

$a = 10;  

$b = &$a;

$a = 10;  
$c = $a++ + ++$a;
echo "$c\n\n"; // 22

$a = 10;
$c = ++$a + $a++;
echo "$c\n\n"; // 23 ??

?>

it works if there is no $b =&$a reference, and fails, if there is that
reference...

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
