Hi.
I had PHP 7.0 and it show a error:

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{' in .../vendor/mjaschen/phpgeo/src/Location/Coordinate.php on line 73,

Then I updated it to PHP 7.2 and the error disappeared.

Regards

Hi,

are you sure, you were running PHP 7.0? The described error indicates that a PHP version less than 7 was running.

e.g. when using 5.6.38:

% php-5.6.38 -l src/Location/Coordinate.php                                                                                                                                                                             PHP Warning:  Unsupported declare 'strict_types' in src/Location/Coordinate.php on line 2

Linting the file with PHP 7.0.33 shows no error:

% php-7.0.33 -l src/Location/Coordinate.php
