It happens when we use shorthand if in shorthand if without braces. Test script: --------------- <?php echo (true ? "a" : (false) ? "b" : "c"); //Output is: b instead of a. //Java and C# tells it's a ?> Expected result: ---------------- to see letter a Actual result: -------------- b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75777&edit=1
