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

https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php
The concatenation '.' operator has higher precedence than the ternary ? : operator.
