 * Hello, I get a syntax error when viewing my website:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/85/11051785/html/
   optizigntemp/wp-config.php on line 62
 * This is what line 62 is:
 * define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
 * Looks like everything is the same. Someone help!?

 * `define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');` is valid. It could be the line right before or
   after that line. (like a missing semi-colon on the preceding line).

 * This is what I have for the lines surrounding it:
 * /** MySQL hostname */
 * /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
 * define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
 * /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
 * define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
