You have to escape the " in your string

$vtext="<img alt=\"\" src=\"/wp-content/themes/9GAG/images/smileynearvote.JPG\" style=\"width: 15px; height: 17px; \" />";

You need to escape your " (double quotes) or enclose the entire string in ' single quotes:

 $vtext = '<img alt="" src="/wp-content/themes/9GAG/images/smileynearvote.JPG" style="width: 15px; height: 17px; " />';

I encourage you to read more about Strings in PHP.

Note: This may not be the only error. When asking about errors you should always post the full error message and the offending line and the line above it.
