PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

Question

I'm getting this syntax error and I know it's PHP 101, but I wouldn't know php if it hit me over the head with a curly bracket. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

<?php echo ($this->getProduct()->getCategory() ? $this->getProduct()->getCategory()->getName() : ‘no category’) ?>

What kind of apostrophe is that?

‘no category’

Should be

'no category'

Hah! Good catch, thanks. It was originally copypasted from a forum thread, so that's probably where the weird apostrophe came in. Thanks, that fixed the error :)

; at the end of the statement?
