I currently connect to my database (MySQL) through PHP with the following lines:
$db = mysql_connect( 'host', 'userName', 'password');
mysql_select_db( "database_name", $db);
The host, userName, and password are all hard coded into the PHP document. I would prefer not to do this. How can I connect to the database without having my sensitive information hard coded into the PHP?
Thanks,
Paul
