Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ','

Hi,
I am new to php and I am installing it on my Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5 using the binaries (not installer) because I want it to use ISAPIs and not cgi.exe. I have configured it using the guide from php.net and it all seems fine but for some reason I can not run the 'Hello world' script or any other scripts;

this is the simple test script I'm using:

http://leesteadman9001.no-ip.com/index.php

it gives me the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 4

but when I run the php info script that runs fine:

http://leesteadman9001.no-ip.com/php_info.php

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

seeing as you can't view the code for the hello world script, here it is:

<html>
<body>
<?
echo “Hello world!”;
?>
</body>
</html>

try copy this and run:

Code: Select all: <?PHP echo "Hello world!"; ?>

or check magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime

P.S.
I see strange quotes “ there you get this?
