Simple Script Help - I'm Newb.

Im getting this error when trying to load my website:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected %

The php code I added is:
<?php ob_start();

if(isset($_REQUEST[’kw’]))

{    

     $kw = preg_replace(’/%20/’,’ ‘,$_REQUEST[’kw’]).”";

    $k1w = urldecode( $_REQUEST[’kw’] ).”";  

}    

else    

{    

   $k1w = NULL;  

} 

?>

And I added this to the tail of some links:
<? echo ( ( strlen( $k1w ) <6 ) ? “Default Text” : “$k1w\n” ) ; ?>

is this line you have non standard quotes, and preg_repalce is overkill str_replace would have been better -- however you should just use urldecode

$kw = preg_replace(’/%20/’,’ ‘,$_REQUEST[’kw’]).”";

In fact, you need to check your entire script for those "curly quotes" and replace them with regular quotes.

What editor are you using, out of curiosity?

I found the script off the web,

So the code should look like:

<?php ob_start();

if(isset($_REQUEST[’kw’]))

{    

     $kw = preg_replace("/%20/"," ",$_REQUEST["kw"])."";

    $k1w = urldecode( $_REQUEST["kw"] )."";  

}    

else    

{    

   $k1w = NULL;  

} 

?>

just this line, you don't need the one above it

$k1w = urldecode( $_REQUEST['kw']);

be carefull using random scripts found on the web, while they may work the likes of above has no security in place, you can't trust user input
