Error booting Flarum: syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting ',' or ')'

And When I run this command

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting ',' or ')' in /www/wwwroot/domain/vendor/cleverloginname/flarum-ext-autoimage-autovideo/extend.php on line 19

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting ',' or ')' in /www/wwwroot/domain/vendor/cleverloginname/flarum-ext-autoimage-autovideo/extend.php on line 19

So I put the php code on here

namespace CleverLoginName\FlarumExtAutoimageAutovideo;

use Flarum\Extend;

return [
    (new Extend\Frontend('forum'))
         ->content(function (Document $document) {
           $document->body[] = $preg_replace("(https?:\/\/[a-z0-9\-\.\/]+\.(?:jpe?g|png|gif))", "<img src="$1"></img>", $document->body[]);
        })
];
?>

preg_replace is a function, not a variable 😉

Happened to me as well after installing: cleverloginname/flarum-ext-autoimage-autovideo
it causes a syntax error

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting ',' or ')' in ... vendor/cleverloginname/flarum-ext-autoimage-autovideo/extend.php on line 19

Deleting the extensión did the trick:

/usr/php73/usr/bin/php /usr/bin/composer remove cleverloginname/flarum-ext-autoimage-autovideo

capecarlo yes it looks like their extend.php is not formatted correctly around $1.

We can't do much here about that. The issue must be reported to the extension developer.

I can't find if the extension has a discussion on this forum though. If not it might not be intended for public use.

capecarlo to follow up what Clark says, I recommend using FriendsOfFlarum Formatting instead, which uses the autoimg/auto video libraries by joshyphp as well.
