parse error in php not showing in localhost (xampp) but showing in nginx server

Can anyone give me a solution for the below lines of code:

 $filteredArray = array_filter($wordArray, function ($x) {
    return !preg_match("/^(.|a|an|and|the|this|at|in|or|of|is|for|to|em|com|be
       |with|href|me|rt|by|np|http|www)$/x", $x);
 });

This line not producing any error in my localhost using XAMPP, but the same line is showing an error in my nginx server (online).

What can I do for this. Why this is showing?

Sounds like your server may not be running PHP 5.3 or later, which is needed to support anonymous functions. Instead, you can create the function and pass it as a callback function string to array_filter().

function wordFilter($x) {
  return !preg_match("/^(.|a|an|and|the|this|at|in|or|of|is|for|to|em|com|be
    |with|href|me|rt|by|np|http|www)$/x", $x);
}

$filtered_array = array_filter($wordArray, 'wordFilter');

Your version of php on the nginx server is too old to use anonymous functions (closures -- at least PHP 5.3) is required. You can use create_function to create a function in older versions, and that still works in newer versions as well.
