Problems creating redirects: parse error

Hey

so I was following along a video in Affiloblueprint for redirects and I got this error


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/ruchivas/public_html/trainingdogobedience.com/dogfoodsecrets/index.php on line 2


this is what is in the notepad file

<?php
header( ‘Location: http://7a1a0n72qv2l2u11y049dgng73.hop.clickbank.net/’ );
?>


what am I doing wrong? please help

 You usually get a parsing error if your content was pasted directly from Word. Copy and paste it into Notepad first so that the formatting characters will be removed. Then transfer the content from Notepad to your web page.

If this doesn't work, try deleting the page and re-adding, and paste the plain text from Notepad.

 Yes, you could try to put the location string in double quotes, just as Waldemar said.

 Actually I got this error just the other day, and it's the curliness of the quotes, rather than whether they're single or double.

If you just type that out yourself in Notepad (instead of copying/pasting) you'll get straight quotes, and it'll work ;)
