i think first statment like this:2+3+4

Code:

echo "i=".(++$i);//2
echo "i=".(++$i)+12;//12
echo "i=".(++$i)+(++$i);//3

Code:

<?php
$i = 1;
// notice here I wrapped the increments with
// a beginning and ending parentheses.
// parentheses may be used to force precedence
echo "i=".((++$i)+(++$i)+(++$i)); //result 9
//echo (++$i)+(++$i)+(++$i); //result is 9
?>
