[PHP] How secure is this? From: Sefton (c.sefton <email protected>)
Date: 12/29/00

I have setup a page that accesses mysql. The page has to included the
account login name and password to access the mysql database.
Example...

<?php
    $user = "username"; //actual username goes here
    $pass = "password"; //actual password goes here

    $db = mysql_connect("localhost", $user, $pass)OR DIE("Unable to connect
to database");
?>

If you get the idea.

My concern is what if somebody can get to the source code. It could ruin me.
I realise the php is a server side language, but is there any way that
somebody could read this. If so how do i stop it? or is there another way to
store my username & password that cannot be read.

Please help

Thanks

Chris
