Treehouse TeacherHi there! It's not a bug. You get exactly what Alena gets as well. $a starts at 5. Then we add one to it and do a var_dump at which point it prints out int(6). Then we do $a++ and another var_dump which prints out int(7). Both of these var_dumps can be seen at 2:49 in the video.
Hope this helps!

112 PointsThanks Jennifer. Could you tell me if you want to know about typos in the text? It would be great if there was a little icon on pages so we could alert you without having to create a ticket. Thanks.

Treehouse TeacherI'm not Treehouse staff. I'm simply a moderator and a student just like yourself. For suggestions, you should probably contact support

112 PointsThe above message is when running numbers.php as shown in the video with $a++; on line 24 A few seconds later when seeing the var_dump($a); I get a return of int(7) after running the page.
