Hello!
I wanted to upgrade my current version 2.6.5 to 2.7.0 on a shared hosting service, and did it the way I always do it. Download the ZIP and repackage it to get rid of the first directory level (so that the main directory content of the ZIP is core, manager, setup, etc. and not modx-2.7.0-pl/core, modx-2.7.0-pl/manager, etc.).
I then uploaded the new ZIP to the webserver, extracted it there and called the setup. At the point where you normally see the summary page before the upgrade really starts, I got this error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /usr/www/users/mysite/core/model/modx/modx.class.php on line 283
I checked that file and found this section:
/**
* Keeps an in-memory representation of what deprecated functions have been logged
* for this request, to avoid spamming the log too often. See the `deprecated` method.
*
* @var array
*/
private $loggedDeprecatedFunctions = [];
It seemed correct to me, but when I changed the "[]" to "array()" (which should be the same difference), the setup went through without a hitch. And the new installation is running smoothly now.
But I'd like to know: What has happened there? Did I do something wrong to have caused this? Have I shot myself in the foot somehow by changing the modx.class.php in the described manor? Or am I good to go?
