What does this do in a for loop?

$counter+=1


it's shorthand for $counter = $counter + 1;
which in this case (because 1 is being added)
can also be written as:

$counter++;

or

++$counter;


those last 2 alternatives give the same result
but they are _not_ exactly equivalent - it has to do
with when the incrementation is done when such expression
appears inside a more complex expression e.g.

$counter = 1;
$x = ++$counter;
$counter = 1;
$y = $counter++;
echo $x,",",$y,"\n"; // outputs: 2,1




Thanks
