Can't solve syntax error in php artisan tinker.

Hello. I have an error in my syntax and I can not see what is wrong ?

$ php artisan tinker

\App\Tag::create(['name'=>'work']);

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in /Users/rickyspires/Code/laravel5-demo-project/app/Tag.php on line 12

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';'

The code comes from the Laracast video "Laravel5 fundamentals - 22-selecting tags"

Thanks Ricky

@rickyspires the problem is not about php artisan tinker, it's about your Tag.php file, on line 12. Can you show us the class?

Totally overlooked that one.

Hello. Thank you for your reply. This is my Tag.php line 12.

    /*
* Fillable fields for a tag
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable [
    'name'
];

Found it :)

Missing a =

protected $fillable = [ 'name' ];

Thankyou :)
