When I copy the words with double quotes, .php pages show an error. Double quotes don't get copied normally. How can I solve it? Which codes can I edit? (My script is Wordpress.)

Example: $goster = getenv(“HTTP_USER_AGENT”);

Before HTTP and after AGENT double quotes in example above. It is a problem with my users. I think I must edit in blockquotes function in Wordpress. Any idea?

Those are smart quotes (e2 80 9c), and aren't considered string delimiters by the PHP lexer, which it seems you already know.

Replace them with either the single quote ' or double quotes ". If you are copying those from a program which is replacing normal quotes with smart quotes, it's definitely not designed for code and you should stop using it for that purpose.
