This is undefined behaviour in PHP, as in most languages with C-derived syntaxes.

Mailing list discussion from last month:
http://marc.info/?t=137427934300002&r=1&w=2

This is also documented, see example 1 on:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php

I would like to say something to reporter, i think that's a post increment expression which will give int(3) int(3). That's not bug...

And who tells the program gives int(3) int(3)? I just wrote a program in C which gave me 3 and 2,
#include <stdio.h>
int main() 
{
int a, c;
a=1;
c=a+a+a++;
printf("%d\n",c);
a=1;
c=a+a++;
printf("%d", c);
}
This program prints 3 2 not 3 3

Expected result is int(3) int(2) I suggest you to read about pre and post increment / decrement :p

Yep, there's a bug, but way of expressing is wrong, expected output is 3,2 but gives you 3,3
 [2013-10-06 13:53 UTC] rasmus@php.net 
You should read this:

http://c-faq.com/expr/seqpoints.html

Just because your particular C compiler gave you 3,2, there is no guarantee that another one will produce the same result for that code. This is well-known and documented to be undefined in both C and PHP and you cannot rely on the result of an expression like that.
