RE: [PHP-DB] [PHP] PHP and MYSQL Security`

The actual content of the .php files won't be seen from the net since it is server side scripting language.. But if you are still concerned you can put database connection info into another file (preferably .php file) and place it somewhere outside your web directory and access it thru require() or include() functions inside your actual web page. But if your concern is for local users' access to those file , just set your file/directory permissions accordingly.

In 1 of my files, it contains the following: $conn = mysql_connect( "12.34.56.78", "username", "password"); mysql_select_db("database",$conn); What should I do, so people can't get this information?
