I have some version problem to use this code in my server

Code:
while read line; do
    read -A array <<<$line    <---------- the server dont read <<< 
    n=${#array[@]}
    for ((i=1;i<$n;i++)); do
       print "${array[$i]}"
    done
    func=${array[0]}
    data1=${array[1]}
    data2=${array[2]}
    eval $func \$data1 \$data2
