CakePHP error in Linux

Question

I developed an application in CakePHP - Windows.

Then I put it in Ubuntu and made the necessary settings. Everything works except the line:

$this-> set (
    'projeto_id', 
    $this-> requestAction (
        "/Projects/getprojectsofcategory", 
        array (
            'setor_id' => $this->Registration-> read()['Registration']['setor_id'] 
        )
    )
);

gives me the following error:

Fatal Error Error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')'

and I do not understand why. If I comment out the line gives the following error because it is of the same genre.

Can someone explain me why this error?

You have an older version of PHP in Ubuntu that doesn't support accessing array elements directly from the method return value. Why space between `$ this`? I didn't know that was even valid. — JJJ, Jun 26 '13 at 20:41
It's generally best to show the *actual* code you have when asking questions. — JJJ, Jun 26 '13 at 20:44
so, should i install the latest version of php? I'm not going to try now, I do not know what version of php that is installed, but I think it will be the latest :/ — , Jun 26 '13 at 20:45

You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of PHP, or you'll have to change your functions.

Check the most voted answer of this post. $this->Registration->read()['Registration'] is not posible for PHP < 5.4

If you can not upgrade php, you'll need to have an intermediary variable

$valueRead = this->Registration->read();

$this-> set (
'projeto_id', 
$this-> requestAction (
    "/Projects/getprojectsofcategory", 
    array (
        'setor_id' => $valueRed['Registration']['setor_id'] 
    )
)
);
