 * Update pushed. But I would highly suggest you update your hosting environment
   to a new version of PHP, this chaining of a constuctor class was introduced in
   PHP 5.4, so you are running a version which was released in 2012 and has had 
   no support since September 3rd, 2015!

 * PHP5 remains the “official” version in use on Debian 8 which is still in wide
   use globally.
 * PHP7 is the “official” version in use on Debian 9 which was only released a few
   days ago.
