Aptana flagging valid brackets as PHP syntax error

Question

I'm new to Aptana, so don't quite have all of the behaviors sorted. I have PHP code that works, but Aptana is throwing syntax errors on both of the brackets:

public function addRecord($data)
{
    $request = [
        'action' => 'addrecord',
        'data' => json_encode($data)
    ];

    return $this->requestJson($request, 'POST');
}

What am I not seeing here?

This is a PHP 5.4 feature. Check in your Aptana preferences that your PHP interpreter supports 5.4. — Tchoupi, Feb 01 '13 at 18:55
Thank you very much. As I warned, I'm a n00b in Aptana; I don't see anything in preferences about versions for PHP. — JW_Swartz, Feb 01 '13 at 19:48
It appears that Aptana does not support PHP 5.4 just yet. :-( https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-4447 — JW_Swartz, Feb 01 '13 at 22:14
Then you can use `$request = array(...)` instead of `$request = [...]` — Tchoupi, Feb 01 '13 at 22:26

It seems that Aptana does support PHP 5.4 now, whereas it didn't when the original post was made.

Project->Properties->PHP Development-> Select PHP 5.4.x

But, alas, there is another bug where the project always defaults back to 5.3 (see [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24633995) ) – Stephen Douglas Allen Dec 03 '15 at 23:43
