I have a problem with a wordpress installation. When I work locally, this function works properly:
function get_images_from_media_library() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' =>'image',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_status' => null,
'post_parent' => null, // any parent
);
$attachments = get_posts($args);
$images = array();
if ($attachments) {
foreach ($attachments as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
array_push($images, wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'full')[0]);
}
}
return $images;
}
This retrieves all the images attached to media on the installation and returns them in an array.
However, when I put my installation up on my remote site, I get this error when I try to use the theme that holds this function:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /hermes/bosoraweb133/b2623/ipg.yourdomaincom/98EMcBee/wp-content/themes/98emcbee/functions.php on line 52
Line 52 is this line inside the foreach:
array_push($images, wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'full')[0]);
Why would I get this error on a remote site and not on a local site?
That because you are using array dereferencing which is only available in PHP 5.4 and newer. You are using PHP 5.3 or older.
