SQL Product Table Creation - Incorrect Syntax - sql

Question

I am trying to create a products table running the following SQL query:
CREATE TABLE ‘products’ (
‘id’ INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
‘name’ VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
‘shortdesc’ VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
‘longdesc’ TEXT NOT NULL ,
‘thumbnail’ VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
‘image’ VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
‘sizes’ ENUM( ‘s’, ‘m’, ‘l’, ‘xl’ ) NOT NULL ,
‘colors’ ENUM( ‘red’, ‘blue’, ‘green’, ‘brown’, ‘white’, ‘black’ ) NOT NULL ,
‘grouping’ VARCHAR( 16 ) NOT NULL ,
‘status’ ENUM( ‘active’, ‘inactive’ ) NOT NULL ,
‘category_id’ INT NOT NULL ,
‘featured’ ENUM (‘true’, ‘false’) NOT NULL,
‘price’ FLOAT( 4, 2 ) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( ‘id’ )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;
However this error occurs:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '‘s’, ‘m’, ‘l’, ‘xl’ ) NOT NULL , ‘colors’ ENUM( ‘red’, ' at line 8
Which type should I use? I am following an example from a book.

After some playing I think I can say it is the ‘’ characters that are throwing it off. I ran this without issue:
CREATE TABLE `products2` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`sizes` enum('s','m','l','xl') NOT NULL,
`colors` enum('red','blue','green','brown','white','black') NOT NULL,
`shortdesc` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`longdesc` text NOT NULL,
`thumbnail` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`image` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`grouping` varchar(16) NOT NULL,
`status` enum('active','inactive') NOT NULL,
`category_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`featured` enum('true','false') NOT NULL,
`price` float(4,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Using backticks and apostrophes instead of curly quotation marks seems to work for me
CREATE TABLE `products` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`name` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`shortdesc` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`longdesc` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`thumbnail` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`image` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`sizes` ENUM( 's', 'm', 'l', 'xl' ) NOT NULL ,
`colors` ENUM( 'red', 'blue', 'green', 'brown', 'white', 'black' ) NOT NULL ,
`grouping` VARCHAR( 16 ) NOT NULL ,
`status` ENUM( 'active', 'inactive' ) NOT NULL ,
`category_id` INT NOT NULL ,
`featured` ENUM ('true', 'false') NOT NULL,
`price` FLOAT( 4, 2 ) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( `id` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;
