From: andrew dot engdahl at gmail dot com Operating system: All PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:No waring/error for some nested ternary operators without explicit parentheses Description: ------------ As of 7.4 nested ternary operators without explicit parentheses are supposed to be deprecated. However, this is only true with the following syntax: $test = $cond1 ? 1 : $cond2 ? 2 : 3; // Raises warning $test = $cond1 ? 1 : ( $cond2 ? 2 : 3 ); // Documented correct syntax https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration74.deprecated.php If the secondary condition is nested within the first condition's true expression no warning or error is raised $test = $cond1 ? $cond2 ? 1 : 2 : 3; // No warning or error. $cond1 = true & $cond2 = true returns 1 $cond1 = true & $cond2 = false returns 2 $cond1 = false returns 3 Test script: --------------- $test = true ? true ? 1 : 2 : 3; echo $test; Expected result: ---------------- For 7.4 Deprecated: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is deprecated. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in /in/V9r8u on line 1 For 7.8 Fatal error: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is not supported. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in /in/V9r8u on line 1 Actual result: -------------- No warning or error -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80528&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80528&r=mysqlcfg
