///////  Mechanism to Display Twitter or not  //////////////////////////
	if ($twitter == "") {
    $twitter = "";
	} else {
	$twitter = '<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'profile',
  rpp: 4,
  interval: 30000,
  width: 250,
  height: 300,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#333333',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#000000',
      color: '#ffffff',
      links: '#4aed05'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: false,
    loop: false,
    live: false,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'all'
  }
}).render().setUser('harborcr').start();
</script>';
	}

Since you're using single quotes as your string delimiter, you'll need to escape any literal single quotes by prepending them with a backslash.

like this? cause it didn't work

///////  Mechanism to Display Twitter or not  //////////////////////////
	if ($twitter == "") {
    $twitter = "";
	} else {
	$twitter = \'<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'profile',
  rpp: 4,
  interval: 30000,
  width: 250,
  height: 300,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#333333',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#000000',
      color: '#ffffff',
      links: '#4aed05'
    }
  },
  features: {
    scrollbar: false,
    loop: false,
    live: false,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'all'
  }
}).render().setUser('harborcr').start();
</script>\';
	}

No, not like that. See how strings are coloured red and non-strings aren't? Well, considering you want all of that to be a string... where does it go wrong?
