php error unexpected ')' on line 4

Permalink
I apologize if this is simple but I've been staring for a couple of hours and can't see it.

Can you tell me why I might be getting this error on this code (site.php)

<?php  
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', ‘rocket_admin’);
define('DB_PASSWORD', ‘Rlmkjfrtg44?’);
define('DB_DATABASE', ‘rocket_fallendownarts');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://fallendownarts.com');
define('DIR_REL', ‘’);
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'SZwPlGjHNCrVp0f4ASMTTk18E4ogvx3rYjwoa9OIGRvtEF2XoAMFwhN8RVwyB0f');

Copy and Past this version (it looks the same but isn't)
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', ‘xxxxx’);
define('DB_PASSWORD', ‘xxxxx’);
define('DB_DATABASE', ‘xxxxx’);
define('BASE_URL', 'http://fallendownarts.com');
define('DIR_REL', ‘’);
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'SZwPlGjHNCrVp0f4ASMTTk18E4ogvx3rYjwoa9OIGRvtEF2XoAMFwhN8RVwyB0f');

You have a started the code with ' and finished with `
Here ‘rocket_fallendownarts'

Looks like you have some slanted single quotes on some of the lines, user_name, password, database_name, retype them as single quotes like you have in the first line.

Actually you can use either but you cant start a line with one and finish with the other..

Exchangecore and all:

I did change the configuration details so didn't post the actual names or passwords.
