object used as an array

got this: Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /var/www/kb/modules/cck/content_admin.inc on line 78

shouldn't this:

      $type = new stdClass();
      $type['label'] = '';
      $type['description'] = '';
      $type['help'] = '';
      $type['title_label'] = 'Title';

be this instead:

$type = array();
