 * Hi.
    I am using WordPress 3.5.1 and I have a plugin with Google Client API. I
   have a line of code that works pretty much everywhere (other setups), except 
   this particular environment.
 * $current_file->getExportLinks()[‘application/pdf’];
 * Reference: [https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-downloads](https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-downloads)
 * Error:
    Parse error, syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in my_file.php on line 123
 * I am almost sure that this has nothing to do with Google: it works on other machines,
   and it is a “parse error” not some runtime issue. even wrapping a try catch block
   won’t help.
 * Any ideas anyone?
