You've got variables in your string as indicated by the "$" in several places.  You need to escape them too.

It's a lot easier to read code if it has syntax highlighting and reasonable indentation.

echo "
  


Total Views Allowed:
Unlimited
          
            
            
              Total Clicks  Allowed:
              Unlimited
          
        
   
    
     Smarty Code (Developer)
     {\$ads->getAdCode(1)}
   
    
       
      
    
    



</pre>
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" width='\"100%\" ' border="0">
  
  
    Ad Campaigns
  
  
     
    ID
    Campaign Name
    Start Date
    End Date
    Viewed / Views Allowed
    Clicked / Clicks Allowed
    
";</

Okay, yeah, so most of it is red. That's good. But there are some parts that are not. Scroll over to see them.

 

They should be.

 

Using characters like "$(" is okay because PHP knows that "(" can't possibly be part of a variable name. However you can't use "{$(" because that opening { tells PHP that the stuff after the dollar sign is most definitely a variable. Except it isn't. So PHP complains.

 

As Jake said: escape the $s.
