"selected": '' :''}}>{{$reg->region_id}} - {{$reg->region_name}}</option> @endforeach ``` that formatted i belive that has this meaning ```php filled(old('region_id'))&&old('region_id')==$reg->region_id ? 'selected' : filled($wine->region) ? $reg->region_id==$wine->region->region_id ? "selected" : '' : '' ``` is evaluated differently respect of this ```php @foreach (App\Models\Region::all() as $reg) <option value="{{$reg->region_id}}" {{filled(old('region_id'))&&old('region_id')==$reg->region_id ?'selected': (filled($wine->region)? ($reg->region_id==$wine->region->region_id? "selected": '' ):'')}}>{{$reg->region_id}} - {{$reg->region_name}}</option> @endforeach ``` that formatted i belive that has this meaning ```php filled(old('region_id'))&&old('region_id')==$reg->region_id ? 'selected' : ( filled($wine->region) ? ( $reg->region_id==$wine->region->region_id ? "selected" : '' ) : '' ) ``` the difference is that the first one, also if the second filled ( filled($wine->region) ) returns false, runs the $reg->region_id==$wine->region->region_id and the second one, the one with the brackets, no Tell me if you need more code or more information, there is no problem Thanks, Alberto The point is that if $wine->region does not exist, when it trys to execute $wine->region->region_id it throw an exception because i'm reading a property of a null element, but if $wine->region was null, filled($wine->region) should has retuned false, and so that code should not have been executed Actual result: -------------- descrited at the end of the bug description ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78530&edit=1
