FTP, Telnet or alike. When displaying or trying to download a PHP file, the server will first execute it and return the "result" being your HTML output or result of function, without login information nor PHP content. / LJ LJWeb GmbH -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:rbtree1@yahoo.com] Sent: 2. september 2001 13:55 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] How can you hide database login passwd in your script?
