Hi,
​
I'm getting an error in ChronosForms V5 when clicking on the back end Administration.
​
I'm running PHP 5.3.16 (trying to get hosting to upgrade), Latest Joomla release (3.8.6).
​
There error is.
​

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/helpingourheroesmichigan.org/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/chronoforms.phpon line152[/pre]
If i comment out Line 152 and also 753 (Same Error) . It allows me to get into the component. 
​
I'm not exactly what the variable on line 152 is for.
​
$tot = [];
Just trying to get an idea of were i should look to fix.  I've been reading some other related posts. checking fields for that character ([). Only place i see it is in the Code Tab. In the formcode. In the class tages
​[pre]class="validate['required'] 

Is that class tag suppose to have the closing " ?
​
Any help. Would be appreciated.
​
Thanks
​

Hi John,
​
I do not see $tot anywhere in the file on my test site. Please try upgrading to the latest release of CFv5.

Hi Bob,
​
Thanks for the reply. Just downloaded latest release. Installed it clean on my test site. It does have $tot=[];
​
In the administrator/components/com_chronoform5/chronoforms/chronoforms.php files is where you find it. Line 152.

Hi John,
​
My apologies, you are right.
​
I am not sure what that line is supposed to do - I think it is declaring $tot as an empty array. Please try replacing it with $tot = array(); and see if that fixes the problem.

​Do I just go and comment out the offending lines?

Hi Bloomort,
​
Please try the fix I suggested in my last post.

Way too many problems trying to install Chronoforms let alone use it! I'll look somewhere else.
Tanks. I hope you fix your bugs
Be well!

Ignore this! I was just frustrated. If you update to Joomla V 3.8.8 and php V5.6, then Chronoforms_V5.0.17_Component.zip works perfectly well without any modifications to files.
