static arrays

[jeditdog]

How do I make static arrays? I get errors from the following code snippets:

class t1{
	private static $vArray = array();	
	private static $vArray[1] = 'bar';
}

class t2{	
	private static $vArray[1] = 'bar';
}

It doesn't want to let me populate an actual array variable. I'm trying to make a huge private static array of my database tables.

class foo
{
   private static $array = array('bar');
}
