You can found the answer here:
http://de.php.net/manual/en/reserved.php
| You cannot use any of the following words (PHP Keywords)

("array" is one of them)

Description:
------------
You can define class constants like:
class foo {
const bar = "baz";
}
But if the constant-name is array, it does not work.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Test {
const Array = "array";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
It should work ;)
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY, expecting T_STRING in
test.php on line 4
