syntax error in version 2.0

  • Hello,
    I am running a few updates on my test site (that’s why I still have wp 4.2.1) and when updating your plugin I ran on a syntax error which crashed everything.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /membri/*******/wp-content/plugins/custom-database-tables/functions.php on line 10

    I had a look and indeed I am a bit lost in front of that syntax..

    $lib_includes = [];

$files = [
  'utils.php',         // Common utility class. Base class, and this class is available at single
  'core.php',         // Plugin core class
  'config.php',       // Configuration class
  'validate.php',     // Validate class for plugin inherited a common validator
  'db.php',            // Database class with wrapping wpdb
  'ajax.php',          // Trait for using ajax
  'tmpl.php',          // Trait for dynamic rendering templates
  'shortcodes.php', // Trait for shortcodes definitions
  'webapis.php',     // Trait for web apis definitions
  'extras.php',       // Trait for enhancements (for customization)
  'admin.php',       // Entry point class for admin panels
  'main.php',        // Entry point class for web frontend
  'init.php'          // Instance factory & plugin activater
];

    though, I’ve tried to quickly change it to array(), and change the $files to array( …. ) as well, but then another similar error appeared on another file in /lib/ folder, so I gave up..

    let me know if you need anything else in order to fix the bug

    cheers!

    Thank you very much for reporting.

    You’ve encountered that error, because your environment is less than PHP5.4.
    The latest version plugin do work at PHP 5.4 or more.

    From version 2.0 working environment must be PHP 5.4 or more. Because it is using a shortened syntax “[]” of array, “trait” and “closure bind” added at PHP 5.4.

    If you are using a version earlier than PHP 5.3 and you can not upgrade, please use a version 1.x of plugin.

    You can get past all the version from the following link.

    ah ok!
    good to know then. ??

    though, I think you should specify in the changelog and in the plugin description, that version 2+ are compatible only with php 5.4+
    it will probably also save you the hassle of getting bad reviews or help requests. ??

    cheers!

    Thank you very much for your attention!

    As you said, I will express the operating environment of the plugin at the next update.
