Steve, use regular single or double quotes, not any kind of fancy quotes or backticks. It may be the editor you're using: if you use Microsoft Word or another similar word processor, it may replace the quotes with something it things is "prettier". If you're using Windows, use notepad, `edit.com` from the command line, or download any IDE you'd like - many or which are free and open source, and even handle PHP specifically. -- Daniel P.
