Can't reproduce this. Are you sure the filename doesn't have a
backslash?...
$ ls
file\' 1 file' 2
$ ~/php-t/bin/php
<?php
var_dump(file_exists("file\' 1"), file_exists("file' 2"));
bool(true)
bool(true)

Description:
------------
When using built-in function "file_exists" in 5.3.5 I encountered a
trouble of locating one file, which had apostrophe in its' name.
$filename = "America's Army.png";
if ( file_exists($filename) ) echo "found it";
else echo "bug";
After backslashing the single quote ("America\'s Army.png"), I managed
to get things working.
I considered this as bug since it has nothing o do with DB/HTML
backslashing, and also took me a few hours to find out what the problem
was.
Test script:
---------------
// To test, copy a single file called "America's Army.png" to the
initial dir
$filename = "America's Army.png";
if ( file_exists($filename) ) echo "found it";
else echo "bug";
Expected result:
----------------
found it
Actual result:
--------------
bug
