From: matschek at gmx dot de Operating system: Win32, Linux PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: ?: (ternary) - shold operate as in C, but does not
Description: ------------ The documentation says in the section Comparison Operators: "Another conditional operator is the "?:" (or ternary) operator, which operates as in C and many other languages" This is not true, because in C and other languages the ternary-operator is parsed/compiled from left to right, and therefore cases other results. The included code returns "1" in C and JavaScript, for example, but "2" in PHP Reproduce code: --------------- $c1=true; $c2=false; echo $c1 ? 1 : $c2 ? 2 : 3; Expected result: ---------------- 1 Actual result: -------------- 2 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25356&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25356&r=gnused
