Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Hello,

$v2 .= $v1.(!empty($v1)) ? "," : ""; 
is equal
$v2 .= ($v1.(!empty($v1))) ? "," : "";

See the list precedence of operators, and the example about associativity in:
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php

$v2 .= $v1. (!empty($v1) ? "," : "");

It's the proper.
