I am getting a parse error, and I think it\'s because of the quotation marks over \"time\". How can I make it treat it as a whole string?
\"time\"
Save your text not in a PHP file, but in an ordinary text file called, say, "text.txt"
Then with one simple $text1 = file_get_contents('text.txt'); command have your text with not a single problem.
$text1 = file_get_contents('text.txt');
