rev 422 incompatible with older versions of php

[Nicholas Skaggs]

It appears the syntax introduced in r422 is invalid:

[Thu Feb 04 01:54:39 2016] [error] [client 91.189.90.30] PHP Parse
error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in
/srv/drupal-qa-tracker/www/bzr/new/modules/qawebsite/qawebsite.module on
line 25

The site runs precise, which uses PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.21, so it's
possible you've used a feature of later PHPs that isn't available under 5.3.

I rolled this back in rev425, which is in prod now. Would be nice to actually fix.

I've check the syntax for the line it's reffering to qawebsite.module:25
   $pathmain = explode("/", $path)[0];

I checked this through a syntax checker, and had a look at this method was introduced in PHP4, so It shouldn't be an issue.
Is there potential that it was stuffed up when being merged?

Not 100% sure on this one.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

I'm not sure, I can only report about what happened. I agree, it doesn't make sense persay, but it is what actually happened :-) We'll need to test on precise if we want to try and recreate / fix.
