解析错误：升级到laravel 5.2后无效的数字文字

Question

I am just upgrading laravel 5.1 to 5.2. Everything run smoothly except my seeder.

When I run seeder, i found this error:

admin@arrasyid:/var/www/sys_pb$ php artisan db:seed


  [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]  
  Parse error: Invalid numeric literal                     

I could not find the solution after googling on the error. Please give me an advice related to this. thanks

Answer 1

From the PHP 7 Migration Guide in the Manual

Invalid Octal Literals

Previously, octal literals that contained invalid numbers were silently truncated (0128 was taken as 012). Now, an invalid octal literal will cause a parse error.

Changes to integer handling

So this means that something like this in your code as of PHP 7 can cause a fatal parse error with Invalid numeric literal whereas previously in PHP 5 it would have been silently ignored.

$arr = [08, 09, 10, 11]; // works in PHP 5, throws fatal error in PHP 7

See this 3v4l as an example.
