While I think long-term this would be a beneficial change I think in the short term it's quite a hurdle. There is definitely code out there relying on this behavior and changing it will result in the worst BC case: it will not fail in any way but will instead act differently.
I definitely want to clean up the language, but I don't see the value in this one. In my opinion, chaining or nesting ternaries at all should be discouraged; changing the associativity doesn't change the fact that they are more difficult to follow and more error prone than using different constructs. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
