Hi! I'm installing moodle-3.7.2 and I'm having this problem:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{' in /home/content/31/9105531/html/lecasabe/moodle/lib/classes/component.php on line 1162
--
public static function get_all_versions() : array {
global $CFG;

Can somebody help me? Thanks!!
HI i have the same problem in this moment and about your question on PHP version my version is 7.2.1 as you can see in this image 
Can you tell us the steps being used to install Moodle? Have you downloaded the source code and added a site to Apache (or similar)? Do you then access your site and the installation begins? Or are you using different installation steps?
Could you attach a screenshot so we can see how the message appears? If you could include the URL of the page when the error appears that may help us (assuming you're installing through the web interface). You can obscure or remove any information you don't want us to see (e.g. the domain name of the site).
This is puzzling! As Ken originally mentioned, an old PHP version is the obvious cause. The error message "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{' in …/lib/classes/component.php on line 1162" is exactly what PHP 5 will report for this file.
If you upgraded from Moodle 3.5 to Moodle 3.7 on the same server it's hard to imagine how the server would have PHP 5 as Moodle 3.5 requires PHP 7 and the upgrade won't proceed without the necessary version. Similarly, unless phpMyAdmin is on a different server, this shows PHP 7.2.7.
Firstly, can you confirm that phpMyAdmin is running on the same server as Moodle?
Secondly, can you create a text file called phpinfo.php with two lines:
<?php
phpinfo();
Then upload this file to the Moodle source code folder (presumably /home2/coller9y/campus) on the server.
Then access this file from a browser using the URL for the Moodle site with /phpinfo.php at the end (e.g. if your site is https://moodle.example.com then you'd access https://moodle.example.com/phpinfo.php).
Then tell us the PHP version at the top of this page. It should look something like this:
or
You should remove this file after testing as it exposes technical information about the server to an attacker.
1-Firstly, can you confirm that phpMyAdmin is running on the same server as Moodle?
2- Secondly, can you create a text file called phpinfo.php
Answer :
apparently, you have just seen on the version of the server. what is there to do then please?
