And then use: require("include.php"); in alle php documents, and then use $host etc in the Connect-function. - Mathias Furevik På Sat, 28 Feb 2004 14:43:23 -0500, skrev Paul Higgins <developer_paul_php@hotmail.com>:

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?
