Password is not excepted unless..

Question

Hello
I am wondering why all of the sudden I have to change the sumbol " to ' where the password is located in the Connection file, otherwise if I keep it as " I cant connect to the database.
I am not sure if this has to do with my ISP or of this is something that has changed in latest version of MySQL.
Thank you for any assistance

this is the file that dreamweaver made, that resides under "Connections" directory.
Basically it looks like this:
<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_class_db = "localhost";
$database_class_db = "unitedhe_classdata";
$username_class_db = "unitedhe_xxxxxxx";
$password_class_db = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';
$class_db = mysql_pconnect($hostname_class_db, $username_class_db, $password_class_db) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
This way it will work but if I have " around the password_class_db then it will not connect.
I called the hosting company and they were the ones to tell me to replace the " with '
