Can I put anonymous functions in arrays in PHP?

I'm getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/codemonkey/dev/broadnet/bito.api2/broadnet/resources/broadmapresource.php on line 87

From this code:

private $debugFunctions = array(
    "testing" => function() // Line 87
    {
        return "I'm a test function!";
    },
    "foo" => function()
    {

        return "bar";
    }
);

I was under the impression I could use anonymous PHP functions anywhere I could use $variables. Is this an exception, or am I doing something wrong?

I'm using PHP 5.3.9

Answer

You can't do this with the class property, the property initialization must be a constant value.

The initialization must be a constant value--that is, it must be able
to be evaluated at compile time and must not depend on run-time
information in order to be evaluated.
