In PHP, shorthand ternary operator is only available since version 5.3.

Quote:

Since PHP 5.3, it is possible to leave out the middle part of the ternary operator. Expression expr1 ?: expr3 returns expr1 if expr1 evaluates to TRUE, and expr3 otherwise.

Try this

$end_date = (!empty($end_date)) ? $end_date : $start_date;
