Problem with Bash script: 'declare: not found'

i had script running fine when ran today, says declare: not found. using bash shell , path @ starting of script correct.

two flagged lines in script follows:

declare -a response response=($result)

it says ( unexpected guess coming because of first error. worth mentioning point when type in declare directly works fine.

declare | grep user shows

user=ashfame username=ashfame            values="$svn_bash_username";

so, whats wrong here?

are using sh instead of bash? sh (linked dash) not support declare keyword, nor syntax

var=(list)

for initializing arrays.
