You meant this:

Code:

$a = 1;

$b = ++$a;

echo $b; // 2

//----------------//
// ...or... 
//----------------//
$a = 1;

$a++;

$b = $a;

echo $b; // 2

$var++ first returns the value of the variable, and then increments it, whereas ++$var first increments the variable, and then returns its value.
