An alternative to prevent mistakes in this regard is making this a compile error and requiring parenthesis.

If we're going to changes any precedence in the language, please please please can we look at the ternary operator associativity? I think making it non-associative, so that you have to use parentheses in "$a ? $b : $c ? $d : $e" would break very little code, in an obvious way, and help with a major pain point people have with the language. Regards, I recall that this was up for discussion a few years back for PHP 7.0, see:
