PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in plugins/todo/syntax/list.php on line 135 about dokuwiki-plugin-todo HOT 11 CLOSED

I do not have this issue with stable 2014-11-23 on Release 2014-09-29a "Hrun".
Are you sure you really use latest stable? It's from last night.

from dokuwiki-plugin-todo.

I tried installing from the plugin manager first. After getting the whilescreen/php error, I tried removing plugins/todo and replaced it with a git clone. It reports itself as: 19235c4 which seems to be from last night.

Also, in case it makes any difference, this dokuwiki instance contains pages that were migrated from a previous dokuwiki install. That install included the todo plugin also.

Looks like you have installed 'master' instead of 'stable', but should be the same code.

Can you do a manual install in the extension manager and use following link please:
https://github.com/leibler/dokuwiki-plugin-todo/archive/stable.zip

Replaced the git checkout with the downloaded zip and have the same problem.

What PHP version do you use? Perhaps it's some syntax that works OK on recent versions but not on eg. PHP5.2 or so. Wouldn't be the first time.

Php 5.3

php 5.4.35 (wheezy and wheezy-backports)

from dokuwiki-plugin-todo.

:( That's not going to be easy for us to do. We are running dokuwiki on a webfarm that hosts other content, not all of which can move to 5.3 yet (not optimal I realize). If the todo plugin requires php 5.4, we'll just have to deal with those lines commented out for now until we can roll out a newer version of php.

I met the same problem as you

from dokuwiki-plugin-todo.

Found the problem. See http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php, Example#7 That line uses Code that works only on PHP5.4+. But I think I'll be able to fix up a workaround.

Workaround committed (to both master & stable), please test.
