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.

You have to escape the " in your string

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