PHP Fatal error: ‘break’ not in the ‘loop’ or ‘switch’

I updated Types on a dev website and got and error 500.

Searching the logs showed this:

PHP Fatal error: ‘break’ not in the ‘loop’ or ‘switch’ context in /var/www/mysite/wp-content/plugins/types/embedded/common/toolset-forms/lib/adodb-time.inc.php on line 1012

I opened the file types/embedded/common/toolset-forms/lib/adodb-time.inc.php

I deleted the ‘break’ statement.
The site then worked as expected.

Googling the error lead me to this post:

PHP 5.x.x, a break statement outside a for, foreach or switch statement DID NOT throw an error message and was syntactically okay.

PHP 7.0 and higher, a break statement is no longer permitted outside a for, foreach or switch statement and gives a fatal error.”

Could it be that the latest iteration of Types wasn’t tested on PHP7?

In any case, I hope that this post is useful to others with the same error.
But obviously hacking the plugin isn’t the best solution.
