Actually, I take my previous statement about the behavior being defined
back. Officially in C/C++, the results of this operation is undefined.

Precedence and associativity define the order in which operators are
processed. But the order of operand processing is not defined.

For

$foo = $foo++;

we have the same operand ($foo) being set twice. The $foo++ will return
0, and this value will be assigned into $foo.

But what is NOT defined is whether the assignment will occur before or
after the value of $foo is actually incremented. Either is possible.

Now in the case of

$foo = ($foo++);

The results are different, but they are still undefined.

In the first case the increment is obviously performed before the
assignment (although the assignment correctly uses the pre-increment value).

In the second case it looks like the assignment is still using the
pre-increment value, but the increment is done after the assignment.

Since the results are undefined, both are correct (or incorrect, as you
may look at it), and may change with changes to the interpreter (or
potentially the same version on different OS's).
