Update:

Checked your code and was able to reproduce your error. You're not using double quotes but some other obscure quotes that is not supported by PHP.

Proper double quotes are literally ". You can learn about the details in the PHP manual.

You probably made an error while copy and pasting code from somewhere else in the internet that was changing code's quote's on the fly for styling and display reason.

Take care. The other problems in your code still stand (see other answers as well).

Try

echo "";

instead of the similar but different line in your screenshot (it's no text, so I can't quote it and highlight the places you made errors in there, so sorry 'bout that).

This does not create the syntax error you're asking about however.
