in reply to is $i=+3 valid?

The correct way to use it is :

$i+=3;

+= is called the short hand operator, similar to this you can use:

-= , *= , /=

    += is called the short hand operator...

    I've never before seen or heard it so called. This is not important, just idle curiosity, but can you cite an example of this usage?

    Update: Actually, Googling just now found a number of examples of this usage. Never mind...
