Hi internals, I've opened voting on the RFC to deprecate & remove left associative ternary without explicit parentheses. The vote ends 2019-05-07:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/ternary_associativity The RFC stays as originally proposed: The associativity of the ternary will *not* be changed to right-associative in PHP 8, only the left-associative use without disambiguating parentheses becomes an error. Regards, Nikita
