First of all it normally isn't possible to view the sourcecode of the PHP script, since you only see the output of running the script. But ofcause someone might find a bug in PHP (like there was in ASP some time ago), so you might secure your script by using include to include a script outside of your document root containing the username/password for mysql. Alternative you can set variables in your apache conf which can be read by your PHP scripts. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
