Upgrade to 4.8 results in PHP syntax error

[ministe...@gmail.com]

So I just upgraded our development server from Reason 4.7 to 4.8.  I did a merge from GIT and then corrected two minor conflicts (dbs.xml and error_handler_settings.php).  However, when I try to pull up /reason/upgrade.php (or any php file on the site for that matter) I get a parse error from what appears to be newly added code for 4.8:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /var/reason/reason_package/vendor/guzzlehttp/psr7/src/functions.php on line 77

Has anyone seen this issue before?  Is there something I missed?

Never Mind.  Turns out this server is rather long in the tooth and has PHP 5.3.  The All Mighty Google Oracle says that guzzlehttp uses a type of array syntax that causes parse errors in PHP 5.3.  Well, a server upgrade was on the list anyway so....:)

The main dependency that is pulling in guzzle is aws-sdk-php. That library requires >= PHP 5.5. I think reason say that is works with PHP 5.3 and greater so we should probably up the minimum version to PHP 5.5

Is there a "maximum" version of PHP that Reason will work with? I'm probably going to migrate things to an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server which has PHP 7.0.

Reason depends on the mysql library, which is removed in 7.0. So the maximum version at present is 5.6.

Reason will not work with php7 because it uses the deprecated mysql extension (http://php.net/manual/en/intro.mysql.php) that has been removed from php7

Well.  That's....troublesome.  Thanks for the heads up though, I'll look at getting an older version of PHP on there.
