Question

I am having troubles reading XML, I followed this tutorial, and generated the code below.

When I open my controller I get

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE’ or `T_NUM_STRING’ in C:\wamp\www\ci_doctrine\system\application\controllers\welcome.php on line 49

line 49 is foreach($xmlData[‘item’] as $row) I dont know what to do any idea, suggestions? help really appreciated

This is my code:

<?php

class Welcome extends Controller {

/*function Welcome()
{
    parent::Controller();   
}

*/

function index()
{


    //$this->load->view('welcome_message');


    //load the parser library
    $this->load->library('parser');

           $data['title'] = 'Parsing XML using Simplexml class of CodeIgniter';

           $data['products'] = $this->_getXML('myxml');

       $this->parser->parse('table_view', $data);

    //$this->load->library('parser');
        //$data['title'] = 'Parsing XML using SimpleXML class of CodeIgniter';

}

function _getXML($fname)
{

            $filename = $fname.'.xml';
            $xmlfile="“C:\wamp\www\" . $filename;
            $xmlRaw = file_get_contents($xmlfile);

            $this->load->library('simplexml');
            $xmlData = $this->simplexml->xml_parse($xmlRaw);

            foreach($xmlData['item'] as $row)
            {

        $result .= '<tr>';
        $result .= '<td>'.$row['id'].'</td>';
        $result .= '<td>'.$row['name'].'</td>';
        $result .= '<td>'.$row['category'].'</td>';
        $result .= '<td>$ '.$row['price'].'</td>';
        $result .= '</tr>';

            }
             return $result;
    }

} 
//End of file welcome.php 
// Location: ./system/application/controllers/welcome.php
