 When setting up WordPress, if a single quote exists in the user password,
 a PHP parse error will follow because the wp-config will be written in a
 corrupted state. Example below:

 **define('DB_PASSWORD', '@Qp!G$AfPgoCo'm7pjK9');

 Same kind of issue can happen if using backslashes.

 The setup should either escape single quotes and backslashes or disallow
 the use of these characters.
