“ and ” characters are not ASCII Doublequote. Replace “ and ” characters with " (ASCII doublequote).
Replace ‘ and ’ characters with ' (ASCII singlequote) too.

I guess you have copy pasted the code from a word document (or from some website) where they've replaced ASCII characters with non-ASCII pretty characters.
