I can't believe that this is caused by any difference between ' and ".
Is your code really so simple? Don't you use any variables or escape
sequences inside strings?
Are you using new passwords or old in MySQL? You can check this by
"SELECT Password FROM mysql.user WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User =
'root'". If the password begin with * it's new otherwise it's old.
MySQL extension doesn't work with new passwords (but with different
error message), MySQLi does.

Host is localhost
username is root
password does not contain '\' or '"'--strictly alphanumeric
don't know if this makes any difference, but in the versions that don't
work, when the error message prints, it puts both the username and
hostname in single quotes
such as:
Error 1045:Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password:YES)

This is very very strange.
What username/password are you using?? (or if you don't want to give
the password, just say if you are using '\' or '"' chars in it.

Description:
------------
Issue Environment:
Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) PHP/5.0.3
MySQL client API version 4.1.7
MySQL version 4.1.7 -nt
Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4
When trying to connect to MySQL database using either mysql or mysqli
extensions, the server throws this error: Error 1045:Access denied for
user 'user_name'@'host_name' (using password:YES). (user_name and
host_name in the previous error are actual user and host name in the
real error message--these names have been changed to protect the
innocent.)
This error occurs when connecting via PHP, does not occur when using
other MySQL clients. Almost all of the online documentation and
examples I found use a syntax with double quotes on the arugments to
the connection functions. {$mysqli = new
mysqli("host_name","user_name", "password", "database");} It is this
double quote syntax seems to be what caused the function not to work in
above named environment. As far as I can tell, there are no escape
characters or variable interpolations in the actual username, password
or databse, so I don't belive that is the issue. Notwithstanding,
changing the function arguments to single quotes {$mysqli = new
mysqli('host_name' , 'user_name', 'password', 'database');} seems to
work perfectly.
I have tested this pattern and it is very consistent--double quoted
arguments will not work, single quoted arguments function smoothly.
A mention of this in the docs or online resources would be helpful.
This may be something unique to this configuration, or to my
environment. Also, if I am just blind and missed a mention of this in
the documentation, please forgive.
