Space characters in text strings PHP

Question

I'm trying to output different variations of text but it does not seem to be working. I have tried the examples on the web but with no luck.

For example, If i do the following command:

<?php echo “Test”; ?>

The output on my webpage is "Test" with quotes rather than Test without quotes? Shouldn't it output without the quotes?

If i put any spaces in my string, the page doesn't even load. For example:

<?php echo “Test Test”; ?>

Sidenote: You do realize that those curly quotes `“ ”` will crash your code. Edit: This shouldn't be a "sidenote" but a: "Use regular quotes `"` ". — Funk Forty Niner, Sep 21 '16 at 12:54

You need other quotes:

<?php echo "Test Test"; ?>

The ones you were using come from MS Word and the blank page you're seeing is most likely due to an error being suppressed.
