Error after upgrade to version 0.9.9

    Hello!
    After updating the plugin to version 0.9.9, my instance of WordPress 4.0 can’t activate the plugin anymore and displays the following error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /wp-content/plugins/archives-calendar-widget/arw-widget.php on line 563

    I’m back to the previous version 0.4.7 and it works like a charm as usual. So no real worry at this point. I love the calendar style and the simplicity of this plugin to browse archives. Anything I should be checking to benefit from the halloween update without scaring off WordPress?

    I should add -since the error seems located in a new “widget” function-, that I’m using a theme without widget (I’m just using the calendar shortcode in a page). Could this cause the error?

    Thanks for this great plugin and for the support!

    Your PHP version is outdated. I use a function that is available only since PHP 5.3.

    Update your server (if you can) or replace this code:

    function sortMonths(&$data, $props) // sortMonths($months, array("year","month"));
{
	usort($data, function($a, $b) use ($props) {
		if($a->$props[0] == $b->$props[0])
			return $a->$props[1] < $b->$props[1] ? 1 : -1;
		return $a->$props[0] < $b->$props[0] ? 1 : -1;
	});
}

    by this one in the end of the arw-widget.php file

    function sortMonths(&$data, $props)
{
	usort($data, 'arcwCompareMonths' );
}
function arcwCompareMonths($a, $b)
{
	if($a->year == $b->year)
		return $a->month < $b->month ? 1 : -1;
	return $a->year < $b->year ? 1 : -1;
}

    Thanks for the prompt support Alek!
    You’re spot on. I did not worry about PHP upgrade for years (thought these were automatically being taken care of by my hosting service). Looks I was still running on 5.2.
    I’ve upgraded to 5.4 and I’ ready to update my archive plugin now once you’ll release this promising new version!
    Thanks again for pointing me to the PHP update.
