Outreach Pro: Insert Widget Areas Between Post Excerpts

[hiwattage]

Hello everyone.

I'm working with Outreach Pro and trying to insert widget areas at specific intervals on category pages in order to place ads in them with the Advanced Ads plugin.

The category pages in question have 25 post excerpts on them, and I'm trying to create widget areas after post excerpts 2/7/12/17.

Below is the code I'm working with that's not working. Of all things, I'm getting a "syntax error, unexpected 'echo' (T_ECHO)".

I'm still a bit of a novice with PHP, and any help would be much appreciated.

//* Ads between WordPress Post Excerpts

add_action( ‘genesis_after_entry’, ‘between_post_ads’ );
function between_post_ads() {

global $loop_counter;
$loop_counter++;

if( (is_category() && ($loop_counter == 2 || $loop_counter == 7 || $loop_counter == 12 || $loop_counter == 17)) {

echo '<div class="ads">';
dynamic_sidebar( ‘ads’ );
echo '</div>';
}

}

}

//* Register Ads widget
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘ads’,
‘name’ => __( ‘Ads Between Posts’, ‘post_ads’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘This is the Ads section between posts.’, ‘post_ads’ ),
) );
