PHP Parse Error when upgrading to 2.2.1

    Hi,

    The upgrade from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 produces the following PHP error in the Apache error log. The parse error prevented my site from loading at all, with only a blank page returned (both the admin pages and normal pages).

    AH01215: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/sites/domainname.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/widgets-in-tabs/widgets-in-tabs.php on line 171

    I restored 2.2.0 from back up and restored functionality. I can replicate the issue each time I try to upgrade.

    Please let me know if I can assist with fault finding.

    Regards,
    Narrf

    Thanks for reporting this issue. Your PHP version must be below 5.4. I am initializing an array using [] rather than array(). This should be fixed in 2.2.2. If you are eager to try the new version, edit that line manually for now.

    Thanks for getting back to me quickly.

    You are indeed correct, my PHP version was set at 5.3. I have updated to 5.5 and now the plugin upgrades without error.

    Thanks,
    Narrf
