Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting ')' in line 510

Hi,

 

I have the following code which is causing some trouble:

 

foreach ($custom_fields as $custom_field) {
            if (($custom_field['location'] == 'address') && $custom_field['required'] && empty($this->request->post['custom_field'][$custom_field['custom_field_id']])) {
                $this->error['custom_field'][$custom_field['custom_field_id']] = sprintf($this->language->get('error_custom_field'), $custom_field['name']);
            } elseif (($custom_field['type'] == 'text' && !empty($custom_field['validation'] && $custom_field['location'] == 'address')) && !filter_var($this->request->post['custom_field'][$custom_field['custom_field_id']], FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP, array('options' => array('regexp' => $custom_field['validation'])))) {
                $this->error['custom_field'][$custom_field['custom_field_id']] = sprintf($this->language->get('error_custom_field_validate'), $custom_field['name']);
            }
        }

 

I works properly in PHP Version 7.0.15, but gives the above mentioned error in PHP Version 5.3.27. How can this be rectified? The bolded code is where the error occurs.

 

Thanks

Your empty() check is fudged up. You're missing the closing parenthesis.

 

PHP 5.3 is ancient and doesn't support expressions within empty(), so that's why it won't even parse the code.
