PHP adding value to array

Question

In PHP why is this a syntax error:

$row['some_key'] = "kkkk";

Raises

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

From the documentation I understood this to be perfectly valid PHP, yet it throws the same error every time (and the error of course goes away then I comment the line out).

Edit: After long searching I actually noticed that the file is indeed corrupted in some way. In Vim (on ubuntu 12.04) the file looks just normal. But when viewing from other computers it's corrupted. So not related to PHP.

it doesnt error for me at all. It looks perfectly valid to me. Maybe if we can see the whole script we might be able to help out whats causing it. Usually a missing semi colon or somethign before this bit fo code. — azzy81

Could you add the rest of the code, some lines before and after. — Memochipan

In PHP why is this a syntax error:

It's not. If you're getting unexpected T_STRING, the problem is elsewhere (hint: look at the line above).

And when I comment this line out, shouldn't the upper line then throw the error (which it does not)?

@Guu not necessarily. It's going to throw an error when it sees something it doesn't know what to do with. The line above it is probably valid, too. Are you sure you aren't missing a semicolon?
