Syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')'

Question

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')'

<?php echo Form::open(['to' => 'product-search', 'autocomplete' => 'off', 'id' => 'form-product-search', 'class' => 'form-inline', 'style' => 'text-align:center']); ?>

I'm not sure why i'm receiving this error after i migrate to ubuntu server. it used to be working fine on WAMP.

I tried commenting the code out too, it gives the same error, Any idea?

You might run on PHP < 5.4, so you need to define the array with the classic definition:

 <?php echo Form::open(array('to' => 'product-search', 'autocomplete' => 'off', 'id' => 'form-product-search', 'class' => 'form-inline', 'style' => 'text-align:center')); ?>

(and do this on every array declaration with [])... or upgrade to PHP 5.4+ :-)

This error is occured due to your PHP Version.

['to' => 'product-search', 'autocomplete' => 'off', 'id' => 'form-product-search', 'class' => 'form-inline', 'style' => 'text-align:center']

You can't defined array like this in PHP < 5.4 version.
