PHP: Short syntax for arrays

Just letting you guys know that now you can do this:

$newSyntax = [
  'key' => 'value',
  'anotherKey' => 'anotherValue'
];

Instead of this:

$oldSyntax = array(
  'key' => 'value',
  'anotherKey' => 'anotherValue'
);

All you need is PHP 5.4 or higher.

I think in this example is missing a '

$newSyntax = [
  'key' => 'value',
  'anotherKey' => 'anotherValue'
];
