Bug #51546 [NEW]: If shorthand statement

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:If shorthand statement Description: ------------ When I use nested shorthand if statements the result doesn't seem to follow what I expected. I am not sure if this is a bug, but the results are different in other languages. Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump ((true) ?"a":(true) ?"b":"c") ; // b var_dump ((true) ?"a":(false)?"b":"c") ; // b var_dump ((false)?"a":(true) ?"b":"c") ; // b var_dump ((false)?"a":(false)?"b":"c") ; // c ?> I wrote a c++ script to see what the results should be in another language cout << ((true) ?"a":(true) ?"b":"c") << endl; // result = a cout << ((true) ?"a":(false)?"b":"c") << endl; // result = a cout << ((false)?"a":(true) ?"b":"c") << endl; // result = b cout << ((false)?"a":(false)?"b":"c") << endl; // result = c Expected result: ---------------- The PHP script should print out: a a b c Actual result: -------------- In the comments behind each line -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51546&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51546&r=mysqlcfg
