Latest version check breaks plugin

    Using versions:
    – WordPress: 4.9.6
    – Contact Form 7: 5.0.2
    – Material Design for Contact Form 7 (Premium): 1.7.6

    Receiving error:

    [07-Jun-2018 21:40:54 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/***/public_html/wp-content/plugins/material-design-for-contact-form-7-premium/public/cf7-material-design-public.php on line 422

    Relevant line is:

    $cf7v5_class = intval( WPCF7_VERSION[0] ) >= 5 ? 'cf7md-is-wpcf7v5 ' : '';

    Fix is to change line to:

    $cf7v5_class = version_compare( WPCF7_VERSION, '5.0.0', '>=') ? 'cf7md-is-wpcf7v5 ' : '';

    Thanks

    Hi @dakao,

    Thanks for the suggested fix, I didn’t know about the version_compare function and will update the code.

    I’m still not sure why the original version would break though, what PHP version are you using? Do you have any idea why it might not work?

    Thanks,
    Angus

    Hi @dakao,

    FYI I have updated both versions of the plugin (free and premium) with your suggested fix.

    Thanks again,
    Angus

    Hi Angus (@contactform7addons),

    We’re using the following for PHP:

    PHP 5.4.45 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Apr  1 2017 01:24:42)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

    I did some further testing and it looks like the method for indexing used isn’t supported until PHP 5.6.

    I have the following versions of PHP compiled locally:

    php-5.5.38  php-5.6.30  php-7.0.17  php-7.1.3

$ find php-*/dist/bin -name php -exec {} -r "define( 'TEST_VERSION', '5.0.2'); echo 'PHP '.phpversion().' yields '.TEST_VERSION[0].PHP_EOL;" \;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in Command line code on line 1
PHP 5.6.30 yields 5
PHP 7.0.17 yields 5
PHP 7.1.3 yields 5

    Thanks for getting that fixed! Much appreciated

    Thanks @dakao,

    I wondered why I couldn’t find any reference to this issue, it looks like it only affects PHP constants and not regular strings.

    Thanks again for your help,
