Syntax error, unexpected '[' in other-roles-access.php on line 364

Hi Vladimir

I installed User Role Editor Pro on a WordPress 4.9.1 and PHP version 5.3.3
I try to activate the plugin but it throws this error
**
Can’t activate plugin, fatal error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /[my path]/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor-pro/pro/includes/classes/other-roles-access.php on line 364
**

Before the PRO version, I used the non-pro version without any problem.
Is the PHP version the problem? I cannot update it though
Can you help me?

Thanks
Cinzia

Hi Cinzia,

Yes, it’s related to the PHP version.
Workaround: replace noted line 364 with this code:

if (is_array($caps) & count($caps)>0) {
    $caps_val = array_values($caps);
    $cap = $caps_val[0];
} else {
    $cap = $caps;
}

I will include this change to the next update.

Pay a serious attention that even version 5.5 does not receive the security updates already: http://php.net/supported-versions.php

Thanks!
Everything works fine now.

I’m aware of the security issue, I’m working on it to move forward

Thanks thanks
Cinzia
