Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' php - php

I have the following line of code which has been giving me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' php
For this line:
$str = removeTags($str, ['script', 'style']);
Why am I getting that error? I read online that maybe it is because I don't have the latest php version? Site is running in wordpress.


You need PHP >= 5.4.0 for the [] syntax. Use:
$str = removeTags($str, array('script', 'style'));

Laravel 5.4 with PHP 7.3, getting PDO unexpected?

(1/1) FatalThrowableError
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)
I have a Laravel 5.4 application, I had to move servers to a server with PHP 7.3. PDO is giving the above error. I worked in Php 7.2.7.
best I can see is this line generates the error
at Connection->Illuminate\Database\{closure}('select count(*) as aggregate from `users` where `email` = ?', array('email#server.fi'))
I am not sure what else would be helpful, did something change between 7.2 and 7.3 to cause such an error

Symfony 2 and gits : How do i install that vendors library ?? I got errors

I'm trying to set up a Symfony dev platform on webfactionnal.
I'm using Git so when I download S2 I took th "without vendors" version and followed those instructions.
So everything went fine until step 8 :$ php bin/vendors install
I got several error messages when trying to execute this line on my server :
Warning: Wrong parameter count for parse_ini_file() in /home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/bin/vendors on line 74
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/bin/vendors on line 79 sh:

T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in
/home/quantum/webapps/quantumnetworks/app/console on line 13
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting
all the files are originals.
By the way, in the the /config.php I had that error : unable to read logs file, I've put it on 777 on my server and realize that it was named as log instead of logs ... why ?
Thanks !

So yeah were making progress, almost done :)
EDIT2 :
I called my host company, they said , when you execute a script in php, even if you type php54, the script itself, if it starts another script, won't call it with the 5.4 version. TO fix that, here are the 4 steps :
cd ~/webapps<your application>
ln -s /usr/local/bin/php54 ./php
export PATH=./:$PATH
php54 bin/vendors install
need to do all of them

You are not using php 5.3, which is required to run Symfony2.
You can check on the console via
php -v
which version you currently use.
The T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in [...] is usually a hint, as php prior to 5.3 does not support Namespaces, which leads to syntax errors in older versions.

Using sed inside php script is causing unexpected T_STRING error

I'm adding a line to my php script:
exec('sed -i 1i'MAILTO=""' /var/spool/cron/' '.$clientName.');
But it shows me an error:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/admin/myproject.pl/newclient/main.php on line 368
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/admin/myproject.pl/newclient/main.php on line 368

I think the error says it quite well. You have a syntax error.
Perhaps this is what you wanted?
exec('sed -i \'1i MAILTO=""\' /var/spool/cron/'.$clientName);
