I disagree. a) There's even a option "offtic: parse error" in the voting-for-close system and b) Just search for `unexpected [` in "PHP Parse/Syntax Errors; and How to solve them?" and you get [the exact same answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18050071/php-parse-syntax-errors-and-how-to-solve-them/29505827#29505827) as the accepted one here, except better. — VolkerK, Nov 01 '15 at 13:05

You need PHP 5.4 or over to use square brackets as array. Upgrade PHP or use array().
