Parse error in PHP array

Question

    $labels = (
        'steam' => 'Steam',
        'bore_water' => 'Bore Water',
        'boiler1oil' => 'Boiler 1 Oil',
    );

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW on line 32: 'steam' => 'Steam',

Can anyone spot the issue with this?

You are missing array:

$labels = array(
    'steam' => 'Steam',
    'bore_water' => 'Bore Water',
    'boiler1oil' => 'Boiler 1 Oil',
);
