Bug description:Ternary operator will not work with return by reference
Description:
------------
PHP fails to parse a returned by reference value when using the ternary
operator.
The test script provided illustrates a case of when it is absolutely
necessary
to return by reference; if the "&" is removed then the output would be a
fatal
error: "Fatal error: Cannot use [] for reading in <...>"
Test script:
---------------
$value = ($condition)?(
$some_value
):(&$object->Collection[]);
Expected result:
----------------
No errors, should be the equivalent of having:
if($condition){
$value = $some_value;
}else{
$value = &$object->Collection[];
}
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&' in <...>
