Laravel Syntax Error

i just uploaded my website to a server and i'm currently trying to configure it, have had a lot of issues especially with changing the paths, right now my main issue is this:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[' in /hermes/bosoraweb097/b1299/dom.epchurchadentaorg/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php on line 49

So i went to that file to check:

if ( ! function_exists('app'))
{
    /**
     * Get the available container instance.
     *
     * @param  string  $make
     * @param  array   $parameters
     * @return mixed|\Illuminate\Foundation\Application
     */
    function app($make = null, $parameters = []) // Line 49 error
    {
        if (is_null($make)) return Container::getInstance();

        return Container::getInstance()->make($make, $parameters);
    }
}

Now personally i can't see anything wrong with it and it works just fine on my localhost, could there be another issue?

The problem here is that your PHP version is not up to date with the Laravel 5 requirements. For Laravel 5 you need:

The Laravel framework has a few system requirements:

PHP >= 5.4 
Mcrypt PHP Extension 
OpenSSL PHP Extension 
Mbstring PHP
Extension Tokenizer PHP Extension

I think your server has 5.3
