You need quotes around the constant, number, within the subscript to the $_POST variable. $_POST['number'] will do it. PHP7 would look at the bare string and decide that it needed to be quoted. Later versions of PHP7 through a warning that it was deprecated. Now it's gone. If it's a string, quote it.
