Hello,

I  was in the process of installation of Commentics 4.1 on PHP 5.3.29 , Apache 2.2.34, MYSQL 5.5.62

However I  face this issue while starting the installation i.e :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/{{USERDIR}}/public_html/commentics/{{ADMIN-FOLDER}}/index.php on line 9

This is due to the array syntax of PHP 5.4 being used from line no 9 in index.php i.e :

$session_parameters = [
    'cookie_httponly'  => 1,
    'use_only_cookies' => 1,
    'use_trans_sid'    => 0,
    'gc_maxlifetime'  => 1440,
    'cookie_lifetime'  => 0,
    'cookie_path'      => '/',
    'cookie_secure'    => 0
];

Could you please fix this ?. Documentation mentions PHP 5.3.7 or higher required

Hi John,

Thanks for letting me know. With there being so few users on PHP 5.3, and with that number only decreasing, I need to decide if it's worth releasing a new version or if I should update the requirements to PHP 5.4. In the meantime the fix for this is quite simple if you want to implement it yourself.

In these files:

• /commentics/backend/index.php
  
• /commentics/frontend/index.php
  
• /commentics/install/index.php
  
• /commentics/iframe.php
  

The array syntax needs changing from:

PHP Code:

<?php 

$session_parameters = [
