Language: PHP
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>PHP Testing</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
echo “If this works, we <i>really</i> did it!”;
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

A simple script from chapter 1 in the handbook, but when I execute it on my server i get this error> Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'this' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\phptest.php on line 7
I don't see what could be wrong on line 7, if the problem is my server how would I fix this?

The smart quotes is the problem... which is why one should never copy and paste.

Language: PHP
<?php
echo "If this works, we <i>really</i> did it!";
?>
