If I do:

<?=$bug_tracker[class]?>

PHP gives me a parse error saying it is looking for a "]" symbol.

If I do:

<?=$bug_tracker["class"]?>

it works as intended. I assume this is because class is a PHP reserved word? I still think the parser should be able to cope with this.

Let me know if I'm wrong,

thanks.

Yes you guessed right. "class" is a keyword in PHP.
Also, it is recommended to use quotes for strings anyway, be them reserved word or not.
