Our volunteer group uses Civicrm. It runs under Drupal. We host with ..(cough cough) Godaddy. Recently their Cpanel automatically switched us from PHP 5.4 to 7 and our Civicrm 4.7.7 crashed with errors.
To cut a long story short after their techs told us it was a malicious attack, and we went into melt down changing passwords etc, we find it was simply the PHP version change.
So back on topic, we had our Civi working fine under 5.4php and after the crash we went back from PHP 7 to 5.4. Now just one of our reports throws an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in at line 304
Here is the code around line 304
), 'civicrm_membership' => array( 'dao' => CRM_Member_DAO_Membership::class, 'fields' => array( 'membership_status' => array( 'title' => ts('Membership Status'), 'name' => 'status_id', 'default' => TRUE,
This is line 304 specifically: 'dao' => CRM_Member_DAO_Membership::class,
After doing some reading i found a statement that the use of the word class in php is a reserved word and shouldn't be used. Not really sure what that means. However Our report that was working no longer works.
Am i missing maybe a duplicate here or is it something more than i can handle?
