syntax error in class

Hello guys, I encountered a syntax error, and cannot figure out the
reason, for example:
============================== CODE ==============================
1: 2:$opts = array ('header'=>'str1'.'str2');
3:?>
===============================
Works fine, but when I try to put it into a class, say:

============================== CODE ==============================
1: 2:class Test
3:{
4: var $opts = array ('header'=>'str1'.'str2');
5:}
6:?>
============================== OUTPUT ==============================
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in C:\Documents
and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\VI42E5.tmp on line 4
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\VI42E5.tmp on
line 4
============================================================ ========

I got the syntax error. Why?

My php version:

D:\>php -version
PHP 5.3.1 (cli) (built: Nov 19 2009 10:17:43)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group

I'm currently not on this list, please Cc your comment to me.
Thanks in advance.

Read the first paragraph on the following page.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.properties.php

.... This declaration may include an initialization, but this 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.
[/quote]

Basically, anything that requires the concatenation of string parts or usage of variables is not
allowed.

You can think that it is static complie but not on runtime .
