ternary-operator

Hi,

I was asked to perform this operation of ternary operator use:

$test='one';

echo $test == 'one' ? 'one' :  $test == 'two' ? 'two' : 'three';

Which prints two (checked using php).

I am still not sure about the logic for this. Please, can anybody tell me the logic for this.
