PHP 5.3 doesn't support the [] array syntax. Only PHP 5.4 and later does.

For older PHP, you need to use array() instead of [].

  • thanks. And in case of this line? $this->getAutoloader()->registerNamespaces([$namespace => $module]); – Cash Sep 03 '15 at 21:32

    @Cash Same issue there. You really should ditch PHP 5.3 though. It's unsupported for a year now - major security issues likely exist in it. – ceejayoz Sep 03 '15 at 21:37
  • @Cash `$this->getAutoloader()->registerNamespaces(array($namespace => $module));` – Brad Sep 03 '15 at 21:55
