In PHP coding standards, it says PHP 5.3.2 is supported.

Specifically for Arrays:
https://docs.backdropcms.org/php-standards#arrays

Should be 7.1-- or to future proof it, maybe don't mention the version number at all and just point to the System Requirements page.

Related: I have a Zulip conversation going about being able to use $arr = array() vs. $arr = []. See: #Backdrop > Arrays and coding standards - request for clarification

Proposed modification for the Arrays section:

Arrays

For the purposes of readability and consistency, arrays should be initialized using "long" array syntax, and not short format syntax. The following examples are preferred:

• php $a = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
• etc..... (existing content follows.)

@yorkshire-pudding I tried to edit this, but no matter how I do it, I get:

HTTP ERROR 406. Even if I just load the page and click "save" with no changes.

@swampopus - that's odd. I can't see anything with that page that would cause a problem but I see the same issue. Perhaps flag this in the Docs chat
