As Shake already pointed out, the “ and ” ain't the same as " and you
should use a text editor instead of an office application to edit your
php scripts.
As you seems to be a microsoft user, I suggest you download and install
notepad++ and you find their homepage at http://notepad-plus-plus.org

This will tell your Apache that the file will be an html file and it
will not be parsed by the php engine (contrary to what The Natural
Philosopher wrote). You need to either reconfigure your Apache to handle
all .html files as php scripts (this will mean all files ending with
..html will be parsed by the php engine and give overhead for your
computer if you are serving plain html files), the best solution is to
name the file to end with .php and the file will be parsed by the php
engine.

This for your script file isn't a plain html file, so it will try it's
best to understand your HTML and present what you wrote, if you would
choose to look at the source of the HTML page in your browser, you will
see it's exactly the same as what you wrote in your file.
