"syntax error, unexpected '?'" over PHP 5.*

Created on 6 March 2023, almost 2 years ago

Updated 14 June 2023, over 1 year ago

After upgrading the module, it throws an error like this:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /var/www/html/aiguesmataro/sites/all/modules/contrib/sharethis/sharethis.module on line 474

The null coalescing operator ?? was added in php 7.0, so it can't work on older PHP environments.

To make it run properly, you must change the line 474 in sharethis.module with this one:

$path = $_GET['q'] ? $_GET['q'] : '<front>';

Thank you! Actually, PHP 5 is not a supported engine already at most hosting providers, but it still exists (usage statistics around 1%). Progress is cool, but since Drupal 7 still supports PHP 5.x (see https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/system-requirements/php-requirements-for-d... → ), the module's 7.x version should respect it.
First commit to issue fork.
