When I insert shortcode into a page using the Insert PHP plugin, I am getting a Parse error:<\/p>\n

Code on page:<\/p>\n

[insert_php]
\necho do_shortcode(‘[pdb_list filter=”user_login=’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘”]’);
\n[\/insert_php]<\/p>\n

Page output:<\/p>\n

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected \u2018&\u2019 in \/home\/content\/01\/12721101\/html\/CAG\/wp-content\/plugins\/insert-php\/insert_php.php(48) : eval()\u2019d code on line 2<\/p>\n

I can resolve the parse error by changing the multi-level quote structure (see below), but this coding does not allow the filtering to work.<\/p>\n

[insert_php]
\necho do_shortcode(“[pdb_list filter=\\”user_login=’.$current_user->user_login.’\\”]”);
\n[\/insert_php]<\/p>\n

I have tried using \\” and \\’ as a the first level quote and ” ‘ as the next 2 levels, but this does not work either:<\/p>\n

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_STRING in \/home\/content\/01\/12721101\/html\/CAG\/wp-content\/plugins\/insert-php\/insert_php.php(48) : eval()\u2019d code on line 2<\/p>\n

The shortcode as originally written works fine when embedded directly into a custom template. Any suggestions for coding using Insert PHP to avoid having to create a custom template for each new theme I try?<\/p>\n
