[ciapug] Array building

[Chris Van Cleve]

I just uploaded it to another server and I get the same parse error i 
experienced before on my intranet box:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in 
/home/dreamsc/public_html/array_test.php on line 4

Line 4 = 'keywords'			 => 'Some text',

I'm so confused. Trying a 3rd server to see what happens.
