Syntax error, unexpected '['

[boynedmaster]

I'm making a php site, and mysql_fetch_array does this:

Syntax error, unexpected '['

 

Full error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /www/zzl.org/r/o/b/robloxoctopus/htdocs/inc/inc.php on line 17

 

 

Line 17:

 

 
<?php
    //Connect to MySQL
    function connect()
    {
        mysql_connect("localhost", "*******", "**********");
        mysql_select_db("robloxoctopus_zzl_db");
    }
    
    //Find the most recent review and display it
    function newRecentReview()
    {
        connect();
        $tq = mysql_query("SELECT `game` FROM reviews ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT 1");
        $rq = mysql_query("SELECT `review` FROM reviews ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT 1");
        $picq = mysql_query("SELECT `thumbnail` FROM reviews ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT 1");
        $sq = mysql_query("SELECT `short` FROM reviews ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT 1");
        $title = mysql_fetch_array($tq)[0];
        $ltitle = str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($title));
        $review = mysql_fetch_array($sq)[0];
        $thumbnail = mysql_fetch_array($picq)[0];
        echo "<center> <b style='font-size:large'> $title </b> </center>'";
        echo "<center> <a href='reviews/$ltitle.php'><img src='$thumbnail' alt='$title'/></a></center>";
        echo "<center> <p style='font-size:small'> \"$review\"... </p> </center>";
    }
?>

It's telling you the exact line where the error is happening, and the character at which the error is happening:

 

Line 17:

$title = mysql_fetch_array($tq)[0];

Unexpected character:

[

 

Look at the [ character in that line. It's not supposed to be there. Or in other words, this line of code is written incorrectly.

I know I saw, but when I did it in localhost, it worked.

PHP 5.4 supports what you are trying to do. PHP 5.3 and prior do not support using a function's return value like that. Your server is probably on a different PHP version than your localhost.

And when I jump from 20 feet into water, I'm fine, while if I jump from 20 feet onto concrete, I die.

You die from 20 feet? I could see getting hurt, perhaps.

Sorry, I'm not American, I don't understand feet so well. It was an analogy.

I know, i'm just kidding. 20 feet is like 4 people tall
