dont use ’ as they are not php syntax (used only in mysql)

use ' instead (simple apostrophe):

$this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all'));

furthermore <?php unset($post); ?> is unnecessary, you should escape your output echo h($post[’Post’][’title’]) and you should omit the closing tag ?> in your php files (not in the view files, though)
