if($ops[0]=='ARRAY'){
global $$ops[1];
echo select_builder($name, $$ops[1], POST_return($name,$defaultV), 'nokey', $extra, $default);
}
I’m getting
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in /foo/bar.php on line 750
Did something about variable variables chage since 9 years ago?
Globals go in a function, but you shouldn’t be using it anyways. In a function, you would pass the parameters you want. Variable variables make code hard to follow.
Bingo! This is part of a massive function that seems to generate forms based on a peculiar string like 'Favorite Fruit,fruit_fav,select:ARRAY|fruitsArray'
I’ve got to either change global $ops[1]; to something that works exactly the same without killing PHP 7 or find where this functions is being used and rebuild the form from scratch.
I fixed it
$varVarName = $ops[1];
global $$varVarName;
