Parse Error: Syntax Error, Unexpected '(', Expecting ',' or ';' In

What's wrong? PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in

You missed ;. Each statement must ends up with a semicolon in PHP.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ',' or ';'

Static class properties are initialized at compile time. You cannot use a constant TABLE_PREFIX to concatenate with a string literal when initializing a static class property, since the constant's value is not known until runtime. Instead, initialize it in the constructor:

public static $user_table;

// Initialize it in the constructor 
public function __construct() {
  self::$user_table = TABLE_PREFIX . 'users';
}

// If you only plan to use it in static context rather than instance context 
// (won't call a constructor) initialize it in a static function instead 
public static function init() {
  self::$user_table = TABLE_PREFIX . 'users';
}

Like any other PHP static variable, static properties may only be initialized using a literal or constant; expressions are not allowed. So while you may initialize a static property to an integer or array (for instance), you may not initialize it to another variable, to a function return value, or to an object.

Update for PHP >= 5.6

PHP 5.6 brought limited support for expressions:

In PHP 5.6 and later, the same rules apply as const expressions: some limited expressions are possible, provided they can be evaluated at compile time.

or

${$args}[1]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ',' or ';'

This should be

<?php
    global $url = "/blog-1/index.html"; //no need of global here 
    if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == $url) 
    {
         header('Location: /blog-2/index.html'); 
         exit();
    }
?>

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == global $url) { here global $url is the culprit

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{'

From the error it is clear that there's a problem executing your code.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{'


The problem in your case is most likely coming from PHPUnit since you have a correct php 7 setup. If PHPUnit fails to understand your code it's gonna fail in the first bit of PHP 7 code which in your case using a return type declaration
in this line

public function add(string $parameters): int {

and it's gonna be triggered in your phpunit test when you try to assert. If you comment your assersion the error should disappear.

I suggest verifiying the version of PHPUnit you are using, you should use version 5 or higher. (preferably 6 for php 7.0)
For more details about PHPunit versions, checkout this link.
