Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in ...

So, what do you make of the error message in the title? I ran into this while coding in PHP and thought that I must've installed a dodgy version of PHP or might have been h4xx0r3d. But a quick google revealed that PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM represents the :: operator in Hebrew.

Crazy dudes.
