syntax error, unexpected token “*”
Description
PHP accepts one star *, for multiplication and two stars **, for power, since PHP 7.0. More stars are not supported as operator.
Example
<?php
// star cannot be used directly after a +
$a = 2 + * 3;
// No such operator as 3 stars
$a = 2 *** 3;
?>
Alternatives
- Remove the previous operator, before the star.
- Finish the previous operation, before the star.
- Remove the superfluous star.
