Unexpected '[', expecting ')' in Symfony console file

This is a strange one, I have never come across it before - but then I've not used Symfony 3.1, only 2.8.

When I run a console command such as clear:cache or a doctrine:schema:update, I get the following error on terminal:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in /var/www/vhosts/mycrmsitetest.co.uk/httpdocs/bin/console on line 20

The line its referring to in the console file is:

$env = $input->getParameterOption(['--env', '-e'], getenv('SYMFONY_ENV') ?: 'dev');

This is exactly the same as on my local drive, but it works there - it's only when it's on the server that this fails.

Does anyone know what this may be?

You need PHP version greater then 5.4. Your script contains the new array syntax ('[]' instead of 'array()'): http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.new-features.php
