Parse Error with using redirect function

Everytime I want to use redirect function it shows me a parse error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /vendor/symfony/http-foundation/Response.php on line 501

Could you help me? I did everything according to this and previous videos and when I want to log in it shows me this error. When I comment redirect function, parse error dissappear.

Ever ten times maybe more I check my redirect function and videos and everything is the same... I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

It's already ok, but thank you for your quick response James. It was casued bacuse of my PHP version 7.0. In last version of symfony/http-foundation are used iterables (http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.iterable.php)

But these iterables are available from PHP version 7.1, so I changed my PHP version at my hosting provider and everything's alright.

Parse error was reporting unexpected using of a question mark as described above and this fact actually reffers to iterables.

Thanks again James.

Is this laravel? Can you post your method? You may need to do return redirect ()->back();

Hey Martin, glad you were able to figure out. It would be helpful to the community if you selected a best answer, so other people will know this question has been resolved. Thanks
