Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 4.0.6
PHP Bug Type: *Programming Data Structures
Bug description: Cascaded ternaries evaluate incorrectly
The following emits 'two' rather than 'one' as one would expect.
$a = 1; $b = 2;
echo (($a == 1) ? 'one' :
($b == 2) ? 'two' :
'unknown');
Apologies if for PHP this unusual behaviour actually is as expected, but
being counter-intuituve, and of course inconsistent from other languages
with a ?: operator, this is an undesirable result.
In 'C', the following of course outputs 'one'
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a = 1, b = 2;
puts((a == 1) ? "one" :
(b == 2) ? "two" :
"unknown");
return 0;
}
