Parse error: systax error, unexpected '=' in /srv/www/phpLDAPadmin-1.2.6.5/lib/functions.php on line 361

Unfortunately a new installation of PLA 1.2.6.5 throws this error:
Parse error: systax error, unexpected '=' in /srv/www/phpLDAPadmin-1.2.6.5/lib/functions.php on line 361
on SLES 12 with apache and php-7. How could it be fixed?

This is this line, which fixes #165.

phpLDAPadmin/lib/functions.php

Line 361 in c84b2d6

[$int, $mod] = [intval($match[1]), $match[2]];

That syntax is not compatible with php < 7.1. You will need to upgrade to at least that. Reminder that php7.0 has been out of support for many years, you should use 7.4 at least if you can't upgrade to 8.x yet.

Note that SLES 12 is php 7.4 since SP5: https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12-SP5/index.html#jsc-SLE-12474. Older versions are not supported since 2021. https://scc.suse.com/docs/lifecycle/sle/12/modules

Thx for the hint and your fast reply. It looks much better now ;-)

After login it gets to ERROR "E_WARNING: openssl_encrypt(): setting of IV length for AEAD mode failed" now.
