    Note the special quotes you're using here --- that's why.  PHP
doesn't understand fancy quotes, only:

        Single-quotes (  '  ), which PHP parses as a literal string.
        Double-quotes (  "  ), which PHP parses as a string to be
interpreted (such as the translation of variables).
        Backticks (  `  ), which PHP uses to execute command-line code
(if permitted by system configuration).

    Change your quotes to either single or double quotes and your
problems should vanish.
