[horde] syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) - but might be a PHP7 incompatibilty issue

[Volker Then]

Hi,

calling admin/config/config.php?app=horde gives an error:

A fatal error has occurred

syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW)

ParseError Object
(
     [message:protected] => syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW)
     [string:Error:private] => ParseError: syntax error, unexpected  
'new' (T_NEW) in /usr/share/php/Services/Weather.php:167


Similiar error when opening the test page test.php:


A fatal error has occurred

syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW)

in /usr/share/php/File/Fstab.php:110

1. Horde_Test->pearModuleCheck() /var/www/h4/test.php:135
2. class_exists() /var/www/h4/lib/Test.php:619
3. spl_autoload_call()
4. Horde_Autoloader->loadClass()
5. Horde_Autoloader->_include() /usr/share/php/Horde/Autoloader.php:65

ParseError Object
(
     [message:protected] => syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW)
     [string:Error:private] => ParseError: syntax error, unexpected  
'new' (T_NEW) in /usr/share/php/File/Fstab.php:110



Is this related to PHP7? Any workaround possible?

Thanks,

Volker
