I am not able to save user address,browser or time it always say syntax error

Question

Hey friends today I am trying to save user id,date or browser but it is not working...... everytime when I upload my script to my hosting site say syntax error

<?php
$file = fopen(‘log.html’, ‘a’);
fwrite( $file, ‘<b>Ip Address:</b> $REMOTE_ADDR<br/>’);
fwrite( $file, ‘<b>Browser:</b> $HTTP_USER_AGENT<hr/>’);
fclose( $file );
?>

You HAVE syntax errors.. do not use `‘` characters.. use `'` — Pogrindis, Jul 21 '16 at 12:16
Don't edit your code in Word (or whatever), use a programmer's text editor. — deceze, Jul 21 '16 at 12:17

You are using the wrong kind of single quotes. Try this instead:

<?php
$file = fopen('log.html', 'a');
fwrite( $file, '<b>Ip Address:</b> $REMOTE_ADDR<br/>');
fwrite( $file, '<b>Browser:</b> $HTTP_USER_AGENT<hr/>');
fclose( $file );
?>

PHP strings may be quoted with U+0022 : QUOTATION MARK (") or U+0027 : APOSTROPHE ('), you are using U+2018 : LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK, which is not allowed (HEREDOC and NOWDOC are also valid options, but not ones which make sense in this context).
