syntax error, unexpected '′' (T_STRING) PHP

Question

I am getting the following error while running PHP a script:

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException
syntax error, unexpected '′' (T_STRING)

. Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException …/app/filters.php:72

    Route::any(‘check/purchase-code’, function() {if ($code = Input::get(‘code’)) {ini_set(‘user_agent’, ‘Mozilla/5.0′);$result = “”;if ($result = 1) {Session::put(‘valid-usage’,’1′);return Redirect::route(‘install-db-info’);}}return Redirect::to(‘/install’);});
Route::filter(‘user-auth’, function()

Stop using "formatted quotes", use a proper IDE and not word processing software, that's probably your issue — naththedeveloper, Jul 08 '15 at 08:39
If you really have `‘` as single quote you should change it to `'`. — marian0, Jul 08 '15 at 08:39

Replace all ‘ chracters with ' or ".

You probably copied the code from the internet and something got wrong in the copy process

Valid string delimiters in PHP are quote ' and double quote ". Backtick or apostrophe is NOT on the list.

See docs: https://secure.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

Replace this line (Be Sure about ' and ")

Route::any(‘check/purchase-code’, function() {if ($code = Input::get(‘code’)) {ini_set(‘user_agent’, ‘Mozilla/5.0′);$result = “”;if ($result = 1) {Session::put(‘valid-usage’,’1′);return Redirect::route(‘install-db-info’);}}return Redirect::to(‘/install’);});
Route::filter(‘user-auth’, function()

to this

Route::any('check/purchase-code', function() {if ($code = Input::get('code')) {ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0');$result = "";if ($result = 1) {Session::put('valid-usage','1');return Redirect::route('install-db-info');}}return Redirect::to('/install');});
Route::filter('user-auth', function()
