Why does PHP 7.x throw an error when accessing static properties using an array in the code?

When accessing static properties using an array in PHP 7.x, an error is thrown because PHP does not support accessing static properties using array syntax. To solve this issue, you can use the double colon (::) syntax to access static properties instead of using an array. 

class MyClass {
    public static $myStaticProperty = 'Hello World';
}

// Accessing static property using double colon (::)
echo MyClass::$myStaticProperty;
