Can't concatenate on an array - Parse error: syntax error [duplicate]

Question

Why can't I use this concatenation FILEPATH . 'assets/uploads/' in an array ???

$upload = array(
        'path'  =>  FILEPATH . 'assets/uploads/', // Get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'
        'allowed_types' =>  'gif|jpg|png'
    );

I get a syntax error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')'

It isn't a logic error, but syntax. Is something that php doesn't understand?? — ltdev

Correct. But you have to post code that actually triggers the error. — Álvaro González

@Álvaro G. Vicario You were right! i put the array inside a method and worked! You shouldn't remove your answer. — ltdev

For some reason the concatenation is not working when the array is in a class, but outside a method.

class Foo {
$upload = array(
        'path'  =>  FILEPATH . 'assets/uploads/', unexpected '.', expecting ')'
        'allowed_types' =>  'gif|jpg|png'
    );
}

You have to set it inside a method in order to work

class Foo{
   public function daa(){
        $this->upload = array(
            'path'  =>  FILEPATH . 'assets/uploads/', unexpected '.', expecting ')'
            'allowed_types' =>  'gif|jpg|png'
        );
   }
}
