Why don't you use Apache with PHP on your computer - then you can test
your stuff before uploading anything. Having a test system is wise anyway.

Also see <http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html>.

I don't recommend using XAMPP in production, but for development it
should be fine.

Usually there is a line number as well, not just the error message.

Because this is not the error. The double quotes just caused the error
but there is no thing like "double quotes not allowed".

Hopefully this will teach you to be more accurate in writing your code.
