Parse Error when deploying on shared hosting ( Laravel 4 )

Question

I for some reason am getting an error when trying to deploy my app to a shared host.

I am getting this error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in public_html/dev/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php on line 411

function class_uses_recursive($class)
{
    $results = [];

    foreach (array_merge([$class => $class], class_parents($class)) as $class)
    {
        $results += trait_uses_recursive($class);
    }

    return array_unique($results);
}

I am aware that Laravel 4 needs PHP >= 5.4 and I am currently running 5.4 on my host, as well as my dev environment (which the app runs fine) and in the code above I am aware that '[ ]' is shorthand for the older array();

This is probably something I am just overlooking but my brain seems to be not working well this morning.

Thanks in advance!

you sure you have PHP5.4 on your host? looks a 5.3 error to me... — Laurence

Ugh. You guys are absolutely right. The shared host was defaulting back to 5.3, when they run a default of 5.4. Thanks so much! Fixed. — Creationist

I got the same problem in my linux shared hosting. when I make the default version of php from 5.3 to 5.5 it has been solved properly.

What file did you have to change the version number in order to get things working or did you have to make the change on the server control panel? I changed my version of php from running 5.3 to 5.4 but still get this problem
