It's not a "bug," but a "feature." :)
PHP has the inverse associativity of ?: compared to C (and every other
language). This was originally a mistake, but now "it won't be changed,"
due to historical reasons.
See some messages I had on php-dev back around the first week of January,
2001 on this topic. FWIW, I would like to change it.
