#30248 [NEW]: Ternary operator nesting is wrong

From: RAbbott at CalStateLA dot edu Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.7 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Ternary operator nesting is wrong Description: ------------ The ternary expression operators '?' and ':' nest improperly. The issue was reported by abodeman@yahoo as a comment on the Operators page: http://us2.php.net/language.operators. He reports it as a nuisance. It's more than that. It is a either an implementation error or an error in the specification of the language. Here is an example. <pre> X = A ? B : C ? D : E; parses as if it were written as follows. X = (A ? B : C) ? D : E; It should parse as if it is written like this. X = A ? B : (C ? D : E); </pre> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30248&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30248&r=mysqlcfg
