 * Hi,
 * Ok.
    I can see that it complains about a line where the splat operator is used.
   It was [introduced in PHP 5.6](https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.new-features.php).
 * It probably means that you are using a version of PHP which is older than PHP
   5.6.
 * I shall change that specific line of code so it works in older PHP but I must
   warn that I’m only testing the plugin in PHP 5.6+ – and there may be other problems.
 * I shall recommend that you upgrade PHP on the server, or ask your hosting company
   to do that. Not only to get WebP Express going, but you will probably experience
   other problems with an old version of PHP. [WordPress 5.2 in fact has a minimum requirement of PHP 5.6.20](https://wordpress.org/news/2019/04/minimum-php-version-update/)
