RE: [PHP-DB] How can you hide database login passwd in your script?

I'm confused. You password protect a directory so that no one can get to it. And then you can just link into a folder in that directory? Why doesn't a password dialog box come up? Surely someone could write a malicious script and have it link into the same file to get passwords and stuff needed to ruin your database? - seb -----Original Message----- From: grant [mailto:grant@amadensor.com] Sent: 04 September 2001 17:20 To: Lars B.

Read the config file to make it work.
