Variables should not be assigned in conditional statement of ternary.
Variables should not be assigned in the condition of a ternary operator.

I believe it is more common to use "condition" instead of "conditional statement" to refer to the first expression of a ternary, but I could be wrong. Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator. I found no mention of "condition" or "conditional statement" in the php.net page about ternaries: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php. We might need to update the text for the valid and invalid examples as well.

Also, the sentence reads better to me if the article "a" is added before "ternary". That being said, I'm not a native speaker, so let me know if that is not the case.

Condition must be in parentheses to be checked; ternaries lacking parentheses around condition are skipped.

Similar to the above, the sentence reads better to me if we add the article "the", but feel free to ignore this comment if that is not the case.

Just a nitpick, but usually, the code examples are not indented and should have no spaces. So, the initial version was correct. It doesn't have a noticeable impact in this case, and this is just a single line, but for multiple line code samples, it makes a difference.

$mode = ( $a <em>===</em> 'a' ) ? 'b' : 'c';

This is another nitpick, but I suggest using a strict comparison instead of a loose comparison in the valid example so that it follows coding best practices.
