I have a parse error using eloquent with slim3












-1















I'm following the codecourse video series Authentication with Slim 3, which is about 3 years old.
I've hit a snag when it comes to using eloquent to access a mysql database.
(the relevant video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70IkLMkPyPs )



the code wasn't quite the same as that currently recommended on the instructions on illuminate/database's docs, so I've modified the code slightly to follow that standard, but regardless of whether I follow Alex's code oon the vid or the following, a parse error results.



$app = new SlimApp([
'settings' => [
'displayErrorDetails' => true,

'db' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'opium3',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => 'root',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
]

],

]);


$container = $app->getContainer();

/*set up eloquent to use outside laravel*/
use IlluminateDatabaseCapsuleManager as Capsule;
$capsule = new Capsule;
$capsule->addConnection($container['settings']['db']);
$capsule->setAsGlobal();
$capsule->bootEloquent();


Running the app produced this error:




Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /var/www/public/opium3/vendor/illuminate/database/DatabaseManager.php on line 65




I'm running this locally on a scotchbox vagrant set up, if that's relevant.
There's a similar question at
Parse error when run illuminate/database/capsule with bootEloquent() in PHP



but this answer doesn't resolve my issue, since the server is running php7.
I have also tried installing packages recommended by illuminate/database, installing php-mbstring, and editing the php.ini file, on the server, but the error persists.



Am I missing something obvious?

Make sure you're using at least PHP 7.1.



/illuminate/database/DatabaseManager.php is using a short hand version of the list()-construct which wasn't available until PHP 7.1.



The "old" way is to:



list($var1, $var2) = someFunciton(); 


while you, since PHP 7.1, can also do:



[$var1, $var2] = someFunction();


The row the error is thrown in is this:



[$database, $type] = $this->parseConnectionName($name);


Note:



If you can't upgrade your PHP version from 7.0 to 7.1.3+, you need to use an older version of the Illuminate/Database-package. Use version 5.5 for PHP 7.0 and then 5.6+ on PHP 7.1.3+
