I'm working on a website that uses PostgreSQL to store user information.
An apache server shared with other users is cheeaper than a dedicated
one. The problem with a shared server is that people I'm sharing the
server with can read the PHP files containing the password to my
database. Is there any way to protect password information so I can run
my site on a shared server? I've tried changing permissons, but then the
site becomes inaccessible.
