Create an array and it throws a parse error, wha?

[evenstar7139]

If I try this:

$sue = array(); 

Or This:

$sue['red'] = 2; 

Or Even This:

$sue = array();
$sue['red'] = 2; 

I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\site\index2.php on line 4

Why?

Most likely something wrong with the preceding command, such as a missing terminal semicolon.
