unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier about phpgpx

[Sibyx]

Hi,
can you please provide me yours .gpx file so I can reproduce the problem? Also, can you please tell me which version of the library are you currently using?

[Moosjes]

Well it does not seem to matter what GPX file I use but this is one for example
example.zip

In src/phpGPX/Models/Track.php on line 51 there is a piece of code:
usort($points, array(DateTimeHelper::class, 'comparePointsByTimestamp'));

If I remove the ::class from this line it works. I have no clue to what kind of problems this creates in the rest of the code but with this change I can go on with my code.

It is the latest version

I know that problem don't have to be connected to your GPX file. I just want to collect all relevant data before deeper investigation.

Which version of PHP do you use?

[Moosjes]

PHP Version 5.4.16

[Sibyx]

Ah,
I see the problem. The class name resolution using ::class have been introduced in PHP 5.5. We have wrong PHP support in composer.json. I will check the codebase of the project and if it will be possible to support PHP 5.4 I will do necessary changes if not, the PHP version support will be changed to PHP 5.5.

Anyway, I recommend you to migrate to PHP 7 if it's possible

[Moosjes]

That is something I am working on but it's a little bit more work than I wanted :P

[Sibyx]

I have probably fixed support for PHP 5.4, but I am unable to run tests because we are using PHPUnit 6.5.

So please let me know if you will have some problems with the library with PHP 5.4
